Linda's house is in a wonderful location just a block away from cafes, restaurants, and shops in Normal Heights. It was centrally located and close to all our sightseeing destinations. The neighborhood itself was quiet and residential. If you like sitting outdoors, Linda's extensive patio is an amazing place to chill out and is large enough to accommodate a big group of friends for an evening. The house interior is comfortable but snug if you're traveling in a group of more than 2 people. Appliances and the TV are not the newest, though functional.
