We spent 3 nights in Timerie's cottage, and enjoyed it a lot.
It's a charming, older cottage, very comfortable for 2 people. The kitchen had everything we needed to easily cook a dinner and several breakfasts. The location is also good: about 1.5 miles from downtown, and only a 10-15 minute walk to the stores, supermarkets and restaurants on Soquel Ave.
Timerie was very quick to respond to questions both before and during our stay, and flexible on check-in and check-out (since no one was staying there the day afterwards). The place was spotlessly clean.
The photos give a good sense of the cottage, but a few things are not obvious:
- The fridge has been upgraded to a full-size refrigerator-freezer.
- The LR has thin curtains, but the bedroom has blackout curtains, for sleeping late.
- There are wall heaters in the LR and Kitchen, which work well. The Bedroom has no heater, but that was not an issue (even though the nights were in the mid-40's), because the bed has 2 thick comforters.
- There are actually 2 outdoor lounging areas. Although they are right on the street, it doesn't matter, as we rarely saw a car.
We had a great time, and will happily return.
