Riley is an excellent host! She's very organized and communicative, which made reserving the room and preparing for the trip a breeze. The house is even prettier than the pictures make it out to be, and it is sparkling clean. Her dogs are super cute and friendly, too, so getting some pup cuddle time was an added perk :-)
It's fairly easy to walk from her house to the river and then from there into downtown or just take a stroll along the river. We didn't rent a car, but it seems like street parking would be easy if you're driving or have a rental.
