This is a beautiful, comfortable house. There is plenty of room to spread out when you need a little quiet/privacy, but it also has lovely "communal" spaces when you want to be together. The house offered all of the conveniences a traveler could ask for and was close to restaurants, grocery stores, etc. We didn't avail ourselves of public transit, but in our tours of the neighbourhood, it was evident that it would have been an easy alternative in other circumstances.
