My family and I felt like home away from home. We come from a big city in the Midwest and enjoyed the diversity of this area - Lots of great food options nearby, the street car a few blocks, locals. Don't make biases fool you. We traveled with our toddler and mother in law and had a great time. Kay was thoughtful and provided suggestions (parks, playgrounds, zoo, museums). We appreciated the cleanliness, neat arrangement of space (it worked perfect with an energetic toddler), simplicity, value, and location (yes, this is a lil' gem!).
