We loved staying at Neil's. The house is beautiful and in a lovely location. We liked being in a residential area, but still able to walk to downtown which was mostly on a trail. There is a cafe and a very delicious bakery within a few minutes walk.
The house is spacious and has a lot of character. We walked down to the water but didn't use the canoes. The beds were really comfortable. We didn't cook but the kitchen seemed well stocked.
Nothing at all to complain about except that we wished we were staying longer and had brought bikes! We didn't bring a car and the cab/bus situation was fine but biking would have been fun from the house to various sites.
