What a delight! The cottage is a private and tranquil place, but still near all the action. A quick walk puts you on the two main strips of Capitol Hill, for dining, drinks, farmer's market, grocery store, etc. The space is perfectly appointed, with a very comfy bed, great washer + dryer, tons of books, and quality kitchen gear. Our favorite part was the courtyard, what a relaxing green space! Erik is a gracious host, ready with the grill or a dinner recommendation.
