We enjoyed our stay very much. The washer and dryer was key and the back private patio was delightful. The location of the house was also convenient, as it was quite close to major highways. Joan was very responsive as a host, such as when we asked for cutlery. Regarding transportation, I would highly recommend a car, as the house is not very close to public transportation and the neighborhood is built on a large incline, thus not safe for biking.
