When I found the cottage from the alley, I was a little nervous, as it looked like a storage shed or garage. However, the second I walked through the gate into the backyard, the place was as welcoming and tranquil as it looked online. The cottage is mostly bedroom, with a bathroom and small shower tiled off in the kitchen area. It was reminiscent of a camper bathroom and kitchen. There wasn't a way to cook food, so come prepared for that. But the microwave and mini fridge were perfect for storing leftovers, and Joyce gave some great recommendations for places to visit. Very accessible for street parking or public transportation. Overall, a really lovely place- don't let the alley-view make you nervous! I was a solo traveler and had a lovely stay.
