Matthew's house was great in all aspects. Perfectly situated close enough to all the SD action, but in a quiet neighborhood with cute coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance. We were traveling with little ones in tow and so when they walked into the nursery and saw all the books, they were super pumped. We read a different one each night.

Two things I didn't notice before booking, which may not be an issue to some people, 1) this house has an upstairs unit and in-law back house rented out by long-term tenants so the outdoor space is not yours alone, and 2) there is no tv. Listen, a break from tv is awesome, but sometimes my kids need a little distraction so grownups can shower, etc. So just make sure to bring along a laptop and take advantage of the wifi.

I'd definitely recommend to a friend traveling to SD!
