There was poop, blood, pee stains everywhere. Smelled like cigarettes. Unlivable. If you want to be scammed, book here.

Not great.
Killed a roach within a few min of being there. Tv remote wouldn't fully work leaving the TV useless. Contacted Mike who said they would replace the remote the next day, no good to us we would be gone. Seen another roach later.

The property was very old than the pictures that I saw at the time of booking, bad smell at the room, homeless people around, the remote for the TV was not working, bad smell on the bathroom, the property team does not pick up any call and they don’t hear your problem. But the lady in the housekeeping department was very nice and kind.

Great little place!
We were pleased with our stay. The layout was a bit tight but was fine. The bed was very comfortable and the full kitchen was useful. We loved the back patio area, very relaxing. The parking was also convenient.

Good, but terrible mattress
Good location, quiet tiny house. Only issue were bugs around the property and a mattress with no central support. Good stay overall.

My honest opinion
Overall the Cottages was great. Internet was not good. Has hard to communicate with family and friends. Or browse anywhere else for that matter.
I suggest for visitors, giving them option to get faster internet with a fee.
Other than internet issues i would stay everytime i visit the area.
Ms Mercedes, thanks for so kind and helpful

Relaxing and very affordable
Really nice to have a studio apartment while traveling for weeks. Cute, fun funky throwback. Excellent communication and cold a/c.
Street is noisy in day, fine at night. Owner put in double pane too.
