The house is located in a quiet residential community but just a few minutes walk you will find all kinds of local foods/stores/etc. Sandy is an awesome host! She really cares for her guest as she makes the room and the house super clean and comfortable, just like home. She's even hand-drawn local food maps so you won't be hungry. Feel free to ask her about various places to visit and she will be more than happy to tell you all about them. Her companion Roxy is also a sweet dog, great with people! Overall very nice experience!
