Well, if you're into small spaces and living with the bare minimum, then this place is for you. It is not a "cottage" it is a shed in their backyard. I don't mind small spaces but make no mistake this is very tiny, like slightly bigger than a king size bed tiny. If you are very tall this won't do for you either. I stayed for 2 weeks, which I would not recommend. The bathroom is in the main house, there is a litter box right outside the door and its a narrow hallway with minimal light at night...i tripped here numerous times. They locked the main house a few times and i had no access to the kitchen sink to wash my dishes. Laundry is 5$ per load, which wasn't told to me until after I had washed 2 loads. The neighbors made quite a bit of noise and there was an animal that was crawling on the roof of the shed so it was difficult to sleep several of the nights before they installed a light on top. There is a small fridge and microwave, but you can't use too many (maybe 3 max) electrical things because it trips the breaker (i.e. no heat AND microwave, can only have heater on low not high). Bathroom blinds are see-thru from the outside when the light inside is on. The surroundings are covered with plastic bottles and other recyclables. Good wifi, street parking, large bed; they gave me a cable box so i could watch HBO. They were friendly- I met Randall once and he responded to my messages; I mostly had interaction with his wife. It wasn't all bad, but if i could do it over I would not have stayed. I asked for a refund a week in. As a person who is working in CA but not a resident I live in Airbnb's and this listing would only be suitable for 2-3 days max.
