David is a wonderful host! As a family of 6, we were lucky to receive a place that wasn't booked during Cherry Blossom/Spring Break weekend. However, if you are traveling as a family, I have a few things you should consider:
1. The house sits on a main street. We were visiting from a Southern city and did not appreciate the difference between noisy in the South and noisy in the North West. There were ambulances every 15 minutes, cars blowing horns for minutes at a time and walking traffic. The walls are thin so everyone sleeping near the front of the house had to use ear plugs.
2. If you have a car, request a temporary residential parking pass from the host. This allows you to park on the street and not be towed or ticketed. We have no such system where I'm from so I would have never thought to ask if it had not be for another reviewer. It takes 48 hours to receive.
3. Be prepared to walk. Whether it's to the train station (3-4 block away) or for parking your car. It can take several loops to find a decent parking spot. You may have to park several minutes away and walk to the house. Good walking shoes are highly recommended.
