Lars is a good host, friendly and thoughtful. The cottage is nice and spacious, with pretty wood paneling, a lovely picture window and sweet art. I found the bed a little too firm for my tastes, but enjoyed the big bath tub with it's attractive blue tiling. We couldn't get the little heater working and so were a bit chilly until we warmed up happily in the bath. The location is excellent, with great cafes and restaurants and Third Place Books very close by.
