Carol's place was a very good size for our family, and was in good condition (not the most modern place but that didn't matter to us). We mainly used it as a place to sleep as we were out for all of the day while we were there. The location is good in that you access almost anywhere you would want to go within 30 minutes (by car), and most places in less time. It is a busy built-up area though, and you will need to negotiate traffic to get around. Parking was possible, but not in front of the place. You would need to be willing to drive around a little bit around adjacent streets to find parking (at least late in the evenings). It appeared from local signs (visible on street view) that there might be parking restrictions some days of the week (I'd suggest asking Carol about this if you are staying over a weekend or on public holidays).
