My wife and I stayed here for a weekend and we enjoyed it very much. We were able to bring our two dogs (both Schnauzers no bigger than 20 lbs). The house is great for families with plenty of space and amenities to keep the little ones entertained if you have them. We liked the fact that we had our own driveway, but parking in the area should not be an issue. We found the location to be very convenient to go downtown, the zoo, and even the beaches are not too far out.
If local beer is your thing, there is plenty of it, all at walking distance. There is great coffee places and restaurants as well, all at walking distance. But if you're staying for a longer period, there is a grocery store right across the street to stock the fridge.
