The hosts were great. They took the time to show me around their home, gave instructions for everything and provided info on the best restaurants in the area to eat at and deliver if you didn't want to go out. I was happy to use the wifi printer when I realized I had forgotten to print attraction tickets before leaving home. Before booking I had concerns about the safety of the neighborhood, but my concerns were unnecessary. We had no problems with the neighborhood or the neighbors. There is a house being remodeled next door but the construction workers worked minimally and within normal noise ordinance hours. We rented a car and had lots of luck with street parking since we didn't stay out too late. It was nice to have a security alarm although I am not sure how secure it was as it seemed more like an in house alarm rather than an alarm that would dispatch the police if there were an actual intruder. It is always nice to stay in a home that is lived in as it is fully stocked with most necessities. My kids loved having toys to play with and books to read as well!
