The house itself is very large so it's easy to co-exist with others without feeling like you're constantly running into "strangers". The location is downtown, which is nice for being a close drive or do-able walk to different restaurants, convenience stores, grocery stores, parks, the beach, etc. The one thing I wish I had known before booking is that the bedrooms do not have locks, as the house is very old and the doors are original. However, in regard to staying in a shared airbnb, I just feel like locks are a must! Otherwise, solid stay and overall good experience.
