This cottage was absolutely perfect for us! The photos on the listing are great, but I think the place is even more homey in real life! It's a duplex so it has that cottage feel. The bedrooms are fresh, clean, and stylishly decorated. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need- the bathroom is bright and modern with a nice deep tub (with a shower too, if you prefer). For me, the biggest treat was the location. We were with our college-age kid, so were looking for an area that was close to "the action". The cottage is walking access to EVERYTHING- great pubs, shopping, thrifting, the cinema, the park- you name it! If you need absolute silence, you may not appreciate the lively bar down the street. It's not next door, but you can hear people in the evening. If you've ever lived in a city, it's no big deal (people aren't yelling or being loud, but you can hear folks having fun. Personally, I like that because it feels lively, but I know some don't care for it...) For us, by the end of the weekend, we were fantasizing about buying a little vacation apartment in Brighton !
Jessica was a GREAT hostess- we were a bit concerned at first about the security deposit requested after our confirmation, but she answered all of our questions and it was returned after our stay without any delays. She gave great advice on directions and activities going on during our stay and was just super cheerful and accommodating the entire time. We will definitely try to stay here again the next time we're in Brighton.
