The house was perfect for us. We came down from San Francisco to celebrate my 5yr old birthday and this was the perfect home away from home. The backyard is private and amazing, my 5 yr old who is used to our appartment loved the extra exploring space. Having a washer and dryer as well as private parking was invaluable and made our stay even more comfortable. It is worth it to note however that the comforters can not go in the washer and dryer (5yr old had an accident and my instinct was to immediately wash everything). Other then that mistake on my part the house was perfect.
