Steve always had a pot of coffee for us in the morning, recommended us to some great restaurants, and overall was extremely accommodating. His two dogs and two cats were extremely friendly. The neighborhood is perfect: we were able to leave the car right outside the house for the first few days and just walk to everything we needed to get in Hillcrest. Downtown is only a short 10-15 minute drive away. But we had a great time in just the local area! great food, bars, and shops.
