Candace's place was wonderful! The neighborhood is cute and family-oriented, while still offering a variety of coffee shops, restaurants, and local stores. A twenty to thirty minute bike ride along the river trail will take you right to downtown. (And she has two bikes for you to tool around on while you're there!)
The actual cottage is fantastic. The space was cozy, clean, and beautiful. As other guests have mentioned, it feels like a little European flat! Honestly, even though we liked the city, we loved hanging out at the apartment the most, preferably out in the private backyard, admiring the colorful flowers! The house is behind another, larger home, rented out to a very friendly, lovely family whom we enjoyed chatting with and who gave us good tips and helped us adjust our bike seats! Overall, it was a great experience and our only regret is that we didn't reserve more days!
