Overall, a very pleasant experience. The house was welcoming, clean, and exactly as described and pictured. "Checking in" was a breeze, got an email a week before with instructions and was even allowed to drop off my things early by special request. Mindy and Tom left a nice personal note, water bottles, and chocolates to welcome us to their home. I could ride a bike to downtown in a matter of 10-15 minutes using mostly residential back roads and the freeway was 1-2 miles down the road and easy to access. Lots of cute restaurants and coffee shops in the immediate vicinity. My only complaint would be it is located very close to a questionable part of town. We did not have any problems, just be careful when driving in some of the surrounding areas.
