“This cottage truly feels like a home away from home, tucked into a surprisingly quiet spot right in the heart of things, making it easy to explore the city's attractions on foot. The slightly uneven floors and charmingly crooked features lend it a character all its own, a welcome contrast to more standard accommodations. Having a private garden space, especially overlooking the river, was an unexpected delight that significantly rounded out the experience.”
