This is such a gem, do not hesitate to book, great location and an excellent value. It's on a quiet block but so close to cool, eclectic spots. We loved Elizabeth's for brunch, The Bywater Bakery and Bachanel for a cool hang-out spot. We went three times! Grab your bottle of wine and take it out back for live music and a Brooklyn type vibe. Seriously, I thought I was in Brooklyn staying in the Bywater. Bike rentals right around the corner so we took rides I the morning along the river and checked out the neighborhood. Carmen was a great host, thoughtful and friendly. I only regret not visiting her at the bar she works at up the block. We were always so tired at the end of the end. We were a family of five staying here and had plenty of room. Carmen left us snacks and my kids certainly went to town on the microwave popcorn (oops!) The boys played in the park across the street and we could watch them from the front porch on the awesome porch swing. The neighborhood felt super safe. Oh and the barbeque join up the road "The Joint" was delicious. Anyway. yes I recommend Carmen' home!
