Wonderful host and a great location. My two and four year olds loves running around the house and the front yard, and despite the proximity to the downtown, the dead end street afforded us a great sense of seclusion and peace. Chet was responsive on three important occasions: first to let us turn on the sprinklers for a few minutes so our kids could romp. Second to gently quiet our chatty downstairs neighbors, third to extend our stay for another night after our flight was unexpectedly cancelled.
As many other reviewers mentioned, this is not just some empty soulless rental, it has all the amenities of a well lived home including some great books and board games. That also means great selection of teas and spices (I think I counted five different kinds of salts and three sugars) lotions and sheets and towels, even some toiletry items and other thoughtful touches throughout. The duvet covers, by the way, are the best I've slept under possibly ever!
Note that the only way to the bathroom is through either of the two bedrooms, so could be tricky if you've got light sleepers (or babies) sleeping there already. Also speaking of light sleepers - if you are one, like me, bring eye shades and ear plugs. The house shares a side street with a back of a restaurant and during my stay there were nightly brief visits from the garbage truck with its customary noises. Nothing out of the ordinary for an urban setting, but be prepared.
Highly recommended for families and couples.
