Alison has the cottage nicely decorated and has included many great amenities--from lovely linens, china, flatware, tea kettle, and coffee pot. She replied promptly to all email inquiries, and was able to meet our special requests in a way that was way above expectations. The cottage is in a residential neighborhood, but within walking distance of grocery, coffee, and restaurants. We felt the cottage was in a safe and convenient area. We loved our stay at her house.
