As many others have mentioned, the neighborhood upon first impression may be uncomfortable for some. Some of our guests are fairly certain they saw a couple drug deals but frankly you can see that anywhere in the city. We did seem to have a lot of fireworks during our stay (the week between Christmas and New Year’s) with one seemingly going off directly above the house which worried some of our family. However the home itself is spacious, clean, and comfortable. It easily accommodated us all and the three full bathrooms are a big plus when you have that many guests! The kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of towels - oh, and the washer and dryer are a real plus! The hostesses really did think about everything to make the stay pleasant & they were quick to respond. Mahalo!
