I enjoyed the neighborhood, walking to dinner at Mother's Cafe. There were several other restaurants in that area as well and a small grocery store. Parking was easy on the street. The place was simple but nice with a good bed. You need to bring your own supplies (coffee, tea etc) but if you know that it is a nice kitchen to use. Did not meet the host, but we did text beforehand and he did express concern it would be cold given the type of construction of the cabin and texted heating instructions which was thoughtful.
