Truly a hidden gem!! The neighborhood was absolutely gorgeous (they are bringing back to life some remarkable older homes) there was so much character and Stasia’s place did not disappoint. It’s exactky how she describes it (but much better in person) there were too many special touches to list, but the snacks, cookies and drinks in the fridge were spot on~ I flew in and didn’t have time for store stopping so the granola bars saved my life ~ I was at a conference at the Omni downtown and it was a very short and inexpensive Uber ride. There are several little stores right outside the neighborhood so everything was convenient ~ I was traveling alone and not once did I feel my safety was at risk ~ the neighborhood truly has modern retro vibe- Stasia also has 2 small dogs (she goes out of the way to make sure they are no bother) that are precious~ being a dog lover it made me feel that much more at home ~ speaking of comfort and home, the bedding was amazing !! so the train sounds that are mentioned in the description (which are very faint in the background) along with occasional squirrel running across the roof or the hum of the window unit made for sleeping like a baby!
Last I want to thank Stasia for checking in with me randomly to make sure I didn’t need anything and for the cold drink that was overdue from the day of traveling. So if you take this cottage for what it is and embrace its old charm you will not be disappointed ~ I absolutely loved my stay!! I found it refreshing having everything you need in a simple form but with so much flare!! Loved it!!
