We loved staying at Manlio’s backyard cottage house. It was very clean and comfortable for the two of us. While we didnt cook, I would have loved to have used the kitchen to do some cooking while over looking the green landscape that we could see from the windows! We had everything we needed and specifically, we loved how lovely and quiet the neighborhood was and naturally waking up to the birds every morning versus the rowdy sounds of the city and tourism if we had stayed somewhere closer to downtown. You would definitely benefit from having a vehicle to get around to and from Manlio’s place but we managed two days without one just by access via the nearby Northgate lightrail station and some swift e-scooters and bikes that are literally everywhere !
