It's a little out of town, but easy enough to get to using the light rail (about 10 minutes walk away), and there are eating options nearby - we had excellent coffee at Victrola, and dinner at Tippe & Drague (right behind the cottage), which was a really friendly place with tasty simple food and great beers. Beacon Hill seems a nice neighbourhood. The cottage inside is well appointed and nicely decorated, and the bed was really comfortable.
