A beautiful cottage—everything is new and clean. A quiet, charming neighborhood. It had everything we needed. We recommend running, biking, etc.—the area offers great conditions for these activities. The cottage is off the beaten path, so no one disturbs the peace, yet it’s close to a great restaurant where we ate practically every day.
