The cottage was in a quiet neighborhood with many shops and restaurants within walking distance (about 0.5 mile away) and bus stops nearby. The photos of the cottage painted an accurate picture of the place. The shower/bathroom combo in the same room as the kitchen was a bit awkward at times, since the person using the shower or toilet was shielded from view by anyone in the kitchen via a clear shower curtain. However, it was a quaint homey place with a cheery hospitable host and friendly puppy. We enjoyed our stay there!
