The host was quick to respond to questions, including my request to check in early. The 4pm check-in time is a bit late compared to other options, but she had the place ready for me at 3:30pm, which worked out perfectly.
The cottage is freeway close, but without the freeway noise, set in a quiet suburb of single-family homes and a few apartment buildings. Street parking is readily available and free. The cottage is clean and spacious with a dining table, large couch, and comfortable bed. The kitchen was stocked with water bottles, coffee, and tea. There is a stove, full size refrigerator, and microwave. The bathroom had ample shower products and nice fluffy towels. The flat screen TV had some streaming problems buffering local shows and had limited channels, but you can log in to Netflix or other Internet streaming services if you have an account. There is one shared wall with the main house and I could hear talking, but that didn't bother me at all.
In all, this was a great find and I would happily return on another trip if the hosts would have me!
