Thomas prepared a nice, clean home for us. It was really good to have a kitchen to cook a little something for breakfast. The house itself is old and can use some improvements but the kitchen looked brand new, with top-of-the-line appliances. For the price, we got way more space and privacy than if we had stayed in a hotel.
The neighbors were a bit noisy at times but I guess that's part of living in a duplex. Even though we were allowed to park inside the driveway, we felt it was safe enough and more convenient to park on the street right in front of the house. If we had stayed in a downtown hotel, we would have had to fight for street parking or paid premium for valet parking. The house also was an easy 10-minute drive to USC. The only thing I would want for next time is for the whole house to be warmer as it got quite cold at night and for the TV to be inside the bedroom instead of in the living room. All in all, it was good value for the money.
