Efrain was a good host overall. We had trouble getting a hold of him when we first arrived. We sat out front of his place almost 30 minutes. With 4 young kids, that was a little frustrating. Once we got in though, everything was great from the snacks and water/soda provided to the comfy furnishings. It wasn't an ideal setup for children, but it was in our budget and we made it work with a pack-n-play in our room and the others on the bed and the pull-out couch. Access to the private patio and backyard were nice, but the yard was mostly dirt. The neighborhood was very quiet, and we rarely heard the neighbors upstairs. I was more concerned that we were too loud for them.
Overall, I would recommend this place, especially if you have a smaller family and/or there were things you want to do in the Hillcrest area. Thanks Efrain!
