    House is very comfortable, well stocked and easy to find. Parking is limited and behind house but seems very safe.We really enjoyed coming home to our little cottage after a fun day out with family.

    Built in 1912 I recall. Place was clean, kitchen was adequate for cooking, small square footage. Towels and linens were clean. Two things I noticed were that the floor was very cold even with socks on and heat turned up and that the furnace which is located in a closet in the living room was very loud making watching TV and talking difficult. Solid 4-4.5 star. Check in was easy and parking is in rear from alley.
