We had a great visit. The house was extremely clean, well cared for, comfortable, and well equipped. A friend who came with us said it was the best equipped house she had ever stayed in. Nice showers, lighting, internet, TV, etc. The kitchen was full of utensils, pots, pans, plates, cups, etc. We loved hanging out on the deck with views of the mountains and the city below us.

Michael was a terrific host. Very helpful and friendly and interesting. He is a master of attention to detail, and we really appreciated this. A lot of the features of the house are due to his personal touch.

It's a bit too far to easily walk to the main downtown area, but reasonably close to the riverfront area. We walked there twice for breakfast. That area has some interesting shops, art galleries, restaurants, and a brew pub that I wish we had time to get to.
