Property was not as advertised. It is not private at all but quite literally squeezed in between a 2 story garage which was converted to apartment units and the main house which the owners rent out and on a busy street. Even if you don't mind being on display for all the renters and wanted to enjoy the yard, there is no direct way to access it and once you get there nowhere to sit, but there are bits of toys and other items strewn about. Also, I had the sense that there were security concerns with the property since the owners had 2 cameras recording video and audio, one overlooking the parking lot and at the door of the 'cottage'. Additionally, the living room had a very powerful and unpleasant smell. The owners did add some glade plug-ins to help with the smell but they were unable to mask it and we needed to spend our time in the kitchen and bedroom because it was so unpleasant. And Finally, the owners did not send us the actual street address of the property until the day of check in, I am not sure if this is common practice, it is not the case with other rentals I have gotten but my sense was that it was so we could not do a street view of the property beforehand, because if we did we would have cancelled the rental. On the positive side communication was easy and the unit was clean.
