We had a great stay at Sally's place. The neighborhood felt very safe, and the house was within walking distance of a number of restaurants and cafes. We really enjoyed the blueberry scones at Devil's Teeth Baking Company. Parking can be a bit of a pain, but that just comes with staying in the city.
The place was very clean, and was plenty big for a family of 6. There is only one bathroom, which is a bit inconvenient, but wasn't too big a deal. On the plus side, the bathroom had a really nice shower and there was plenty of water pressure.
If you want to experience city life as a local would, this is a great choice.
