This is a quirky house, but we would definitely recommend it. I think Jesse and Michelle are still working out some of the kinks of hosting, but they are very responsive to our questions or concerns I think they responded to every message in 5 minutes or less. This is a traditional "shotgun" house. That means there are no hallways. There is a living room in the front, followed by three bedrooms, then the kitchen and a dining area and laundry room. You have to go thru each room to get from the front of the house to the back of the house. This is probably not a problem for families of close friends, but it does reduce the level of privacy, if that is an issue for you. While the neighborhood is still in transition, it is very close to canal street and the FQ. and the freeways. I think it is a very good value. We would recommend it to other guests and stay here again.
