This property is falsely advertised and the host (Ian) was very difficult to deal with. Things to note about this listing:
1. It is NOT a cottage. The unit is a suite above a garage.
2. It is NOT a 1 bedroom. It is a bachelor suite with a total open floor plan.
3. The property is on a VERY steep hill with tons of stairs. You will also have to park on this very steep grade which can be tricky depending on what you are driving and your comfort level on steep hills. I can't image the driveway is even useable if it gets wet and/or slippery. Be careful!
4. It is a construction zone. The host, Ian, is upgrading the property and there are piles of nails and screws everywhere.
5. The host, Ian, will be present all the time! He doesn't live on the property but he is always there and interacting with guests so if you are looking for a quiet get away, this is not it.
6. The host will charge you an extra charge upon check in claiming it is for taxes. Be prepared to pay more then what you paid on VRBO.
7. The host, Ian, is extremely petty! We left a couple dishes in the sink when we checked out and he claimed we left a mess and broke his umbrella; which we never did. It was just an old, poorly constructed umbrella but he felt the need to accuse us of breaking it.
Overall, Ian's listing is way over priced and not worth the hassle. As the host, Ian, was unreasonable, unpleasant to deal with and just plain petty. I would not recommend this property to anyone!
