"Cozy Cottage"

The cottage is a cozy space in a neighborhood (garden has weeds). This is a two story cottage with the queen bed on the main floor along with a kitchen and an open loft/meditation room on the second floor. The kitchen stove is vintage and the oven is running hot so please do not use. This is a studio, so the kitchen and bed are all in one room. There is construction next door scheduled until 8/18/26. I am thinking that it should not be occurring on the weekends, but don't know for sure.
