The cottage was as pictured and Maya's a great host. We just had the unfortunate luck that cottage smelled badly of urine due to the previous guest. Once we reported it to Maya, she immediately went and found a cleaning service to thoroughly clean the cottage again. Maya also washed the couch cushion covers. It helped but didn't completely get rid of the smell. Maya was very apologetic about it. She says she's going to replace some of the floor to get the cottage back to 100% clean.
