This is far enough outside the city to be away from the crowds, but close enough to be near everything. The condo wasn't particularly clean, but was clean enough we stayed for a week. The neighborhood is mixed middle class with some houses more cared for than others. We were in unit A, and the upstairs unit was rented our last day. Definitely every footstep sounded like an elephant walking. The hill is steep, but drivable especially since you don't have to worry about snow!! Overall, if he gets the cleaning situation corrected we would stay again. However we would bring a bath mat and maybe a drying rack for towels to make it that much better.
