Perfect for our needs and just as listed. Two parking places right in front, close enough to restaurants that we didn't need to drive, and easy access to the bridge to downtown. Owner was very responsive. We would definitely book again!

The little cottage is very accurately depicted in the listing. We enjoyed the shady courtyard and privacy fence with our dog. The courtyard is a shared space with other guests but the other couple with dog were super friendly and our dogs had fun together. It was so nice to have a well equipped kitchen and laundry machines during our stay. The beds were super cloud like and comfy. Very walkable to local shem creek park and multiple restaurants. Although in a very busy spot, the parking and private outdoor space felt very relaxing and soothing.
