We stayed for 2 nights at Rick's house. My initial impression was great. The house is updated and roomy. Maybe my standards are high but it could have used a good vacuuming. There were still hairs left behind in the bathroom.
The house is close to downtown and it was easy to get where we wanted. Other reviewers mentioned this being in an up and coming neighborhood. There are many homes that have been updated and remodeled but there are just as many that aren't. We had no trouble the first night but the second night was different. It was the 4th of July which may not be a typical night. At 1:30 am the doorbell rang. My husband went down to see teens/young adults jumping up to look in windows. They left a couple minutes later. My husband stayed by the door. Within minutes the police were parked out front. My husband talked with them and they said there was a robbery down the street. Two of the perpetrators had been arrested and had guns. One was still on the loose. My husband slept on the couch the rest of the night. He saw police lights another time and watched them pat down someone on the sidewalk.
We would not stay there again just based on location. We have nothing against Rick or his home.
