I loved the look of it in the photos, and when I first arrived, I was even more charmed by what I encountered in person. However, once I started needing to use the facilities, especially the kitchen, I realized that they were in dire need of renovation/swapping out. The cottage can easily retain the vintage/rustic feel and be a much more pleasant nook with a new kitchen and bathroom. New sinks, countertops and other fixtures would be much more straightforward to keep clean and appealing. Also, there is an A/C leak problem that affects the cottage's downstairs apartment, though the unit itself cools very well.
