We stayed two nights and really enjoyed our visit. The location is very accessible to the riverwalk, Front Street and Historic District. We walked everywhere. We also took an afternoon trip to Wrightsville Beach. The cottage has so much character, clean and comfortable. Great kitchen etc. The host has thought of everything and was excellent to communicate with. A great spot to stay and explore what Wilmington and the surrounding area has to offer.
