Communication with Lea was easy. Their home was in a safe, quiet neighborhood with easy parking. My stay was brief (overnight) and my travel plans didn't include seeking out any bars or restaurants, so I'm not sure what the area offers in that regard. I had to wake up early in the morning, so getting a good night's sleep was the most important factor and this was accomplished. They have 2 young children who wake up early but this fit with my schedule perfectly.
