The location is great, we were able to walk to downtown and to the grocery store. Trader Joe's, Wholefoods, and Harris Teeter are just a couple blocks away. The house was as described; it is a 1920's era bungalow with character. Very comfortable and well appointed for our family of four. We parked on the street because the side driveway was a bit narrow and steep, but the street parking was just fine. Others have mentioned proximity to the highway; the noise wasn't noticeable and it was pretty convenient getting around town.
