We had a wonderful stay here and would absolutely come back again. Great location, walkable to/from the Clipper and downtown, shops, restaurants, etc. Quiet and safe neighborhood, beautiful property with a garden, plants, and the apartment had everything we could need...a full kitchen, private patio, comfy living area, standard bathroom, and cozy king sized bed. It was the perfect place to rest in the afternoon and come home to after a long day of exploring.

Cute garden hideaway in a great location!

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! The property is located in a prime location in walking distance to amazing restaurants and downtown. The host left us a delicious welcome gift of homemade brownies. A couple other notable perks of the property were the very comfortable and luxurious king sized bed, the luxurious bath robes, real coffee creamer for the coffee and the cute dogs sometimes hanging out in the back garden!

Fine property. Fine location. Fine host.

The listing promised a lot, but this small, handsome cottage exceeded our expectations, and the private garden patio -- where we lunched, surrounded by flowers -- was icing on the cake.

Cute cottage

Diane's private garden retreat is in a great location. The one bedroom cottage has all the necessary amenities needed to cook and enjoy a delicious meal using local ingredients purchased at a nearby grocer. The private patio is super! And, always important, the bed was very comfy.
