Gorgeous property! Exquisite garden in the beautiful historic district, fun to walk around and enjoy all the beautiful mansions that surround you. I would highly recommend this cottage. Not for small children though, as the stairs are very steep and the cottage is full of breakables.

Great location, kitschy place

Loved the location. The stairs are steep so not good with kids or those with joint issue. I asked to see the garden twice with no response from host so I was disappointed with that. The air conditioning units in windows cooled the place effectively. Facility provided everything you needed. Loved that we could bring our pets! There is a pet deposit that is not mentioned in listing so be aware of that. Overall enjoyed our stay.
