My wife and I stayed at Kristen home, there was more than enough room for us and her place is very clean. You will have all the amenities, with a quiet urban setting.
The park across the street is a free added bonus when you stay at Kristen place. On Saturday mornings the park has a farmers market year around.
Her home is 5 miles from downtown, so a couple of bucks for a cab ride. We would absolutely stay here again.
