The stay at the Casita was awesome! The only thing you need are clothes! Matthew has thought of just about everything you could need for an extended stay. It's in a quiet transitioning neighborhood. My husband and I relied on mass transit to get around. Close to downtown and lots of local eateries within walking distance. If you are not afraid of riding the bus with the homeless and working class, don't waste money on a car. Matthew was awesome in checking on us during our stay. He knew we were using the bus so he made sure the water main break around the corner didn't stop our adventures. Matthew is very nice, caring and personable. We will definitely stay there again and hope to officially meet his wife next time.
