The cottage has a wonderful front porch and a large kitchen. It needs a few touches to make it truly memorable. The thermostat was locked with a code. The cottage needs bathroom tissue holders, towel bars, and coat racks or hooks. The hot and cold water are switched in the bathrooms. It could also use coat racks or hooks and somewhere to place clothes. The neighborhood was quiet, had sidewalks for walking, and was close to St. Charles and shopping. Overall a great place to experience St. Charles and the surrounding area.
