A good house located on the outskirts of town, a car, Uber or bus are needed to make the house a good base for travel. There are some walkable areas, such as the Marathon Music Works, though some other areas do not look so inviting.
After some initial issues we enjoyed our stay though if these did not exist we could have settled in and enjoyed much quicker.
The host provides good contact and reacts efficiently and effectively to requests, this type of response enabled us to overcome most issues we had.
