The full kitchen has most anything you would need for a sweet meal! There is off-street parking and plenty of free street parking.
Currently, the house has a small hot water heater. It's fine as long as you take short showers and spread them out in between guests. Keep that in mind if you book the house for four guests.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the yard fenced?
There is a partial fence for some privacy, but there is a bridge over the creek that leads to a neighboring cottage.
Are long showers possible?
The water heater is just a 10 gallon which allows for a five minute shower, so showers would need to be spread out between guests. We really don't have many complaints. Once guests know, it is easy to navigate.
Is noise an issue?
The house is located on a busy street so it can be noisy. The bedroom is in the back, so no one complains. The corner is so convenient and walkable so we do not mind the cars.
What is the parking situation?
There is plenty of parking for a car or two in front of the house and plenty more on the street.
