Rick and Judy were very welcoming and communicative. They both wanted their guests to feel everything would be smooth. It was like spending some time visiting relatives in their bungalow behind the main residence. There was a semi-privacy wall next to the lounging area, and Rick and Judy were not intrusive at all. However, they were more than happy to meet their guests. The space was a little tight for us two, but it was certainly better than most hotel rooms for space and down home hominess. The wifi and DVD player worked AOK. The cottage was located about 20 minutes north of downtown and close to various other attractions in all directions. Once one adjusted to the traffic flows, undulations and congestion hours -- and the Speedy Gonzales DNA (okay, showing my age) of most drivers -- we got around just fine by car. The neighborhood was very middle class with some families, but it was certainly quiet and safe feeling. Their was a little shopping centre close by for all the necessities, groceries, drugstore, eating places, etc. Our short one week stay was relaxing, not taxing.
