We had 5 nights in David and Michelle's fabulous cottage (after taking the train down from Vancouver). It's basically perfect, we couldn't fault it! You're completely self contained, but David and Michelle are in the main house and very approachable for questions and advice. Full kitchen facilities, great bed, god shower, and useful black out blinds. The TV with Roku and cable was a bonus, but we hardly used it!
We loved the area, very cool and liberal (for the US!) Walking distance to Safeway/Co-op/Trader Joe's for provisions. Smaller stores were even closer. There's small independent cinema close by as well.
We had a few meals locally at Food.co burgers, and the divish pub "Neighbor Lady", and coffee at the Cortona cafe. We were without a car but public transport is great. I recommend you get an "Orca" card which you can pre-load with credit online. Buy the card locally at Safeway on E.Madison. You can put credit on there as well, and they will activate it.
In conclusion you won't disappointed if you choose this property!
