Very nice layout and space for a group of people. We greatly enjoyed the back porch and would stay again! The porch would have been MUCH more relaxing without the freeway noise, but the sounds of the birds were delightful. Other reviews mention that the freeway sound is not too bad, but even sitting close to each other, it was sometimes hard to hear one another. It also is noticeable at night when going to sleep, and you can feel the vibrations. Just please know this before going...it may not bother you, but it also may.
