Bonita's house is beautiful and a good distance away from downtown. Only a 10 minute drive either through town or via the interstate, we were able to drive ourselves downtown and park in a garage or Uber around for about the same price. This is definitely a great place to stay with family as it is out of the downtown scene, so you can come back to a quiet neighborhood after traveling all day. I ate my breakfast and drank my coffee on the front porch and was waved at by some neighbors. :)
