This home is in a lovely and quiet neighborhood. I loved hearing the grackles and owls and taking walks. There’s a playground around th corner too, which was great. It’s a nice choice for families who are willing to drive for attractions and food. That said, it’s not walkable to as many places as other in-town neighborhoods. There is a great coffee shop close by (Patika!) and lots of great restaurants are a short drive away.
While the house itself is fine, and there are plenty of places to sleep, it could use a few touches. The shower had no liner, which made for a wet bathroom no matter how careful we were. There were lots of the owner’s objects lying around (CDs, guitars, little low-lying and small decorations), which wasn’t ideal for a toddler. The kitchen smelled a bit foul (maybe there had been something in the disposal or the trash can needed cleaning), which isn’t a huge deal. Lastly, the doors could easily lock you out without it being obvious; the small lock, when locked, doesn’t feel that way from inside the house—only on the outside of the handle. Thankfully I brought keys with me when I walked into the backyard with my daughter. It could have easily been an annoying ordeal.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay there, but some attention to detail would make this place great.
