The host communicated that the cottage was ready for us earlier which was nice. The neighborhood was nice, we were able to walk to interesting areas easily from the location. The cottage was quite cozy and lovely. Everything was fantastic until the oven stopped working in the middle of us making our thanksgiving dinner. I was unable to reach the host in a timely manner, so we had to manage to complete the cooking cooking another way. It worked out, but was an awkward situation. One of the reasons we rented the cottage was so we could cook together.
