Amanda's home on Bolivar was just right for our small group. Though smaller by looks, it did not feel that way once inside. It is located in an area that's reestablishing itself, though we never felt uncomfortable. It's close to 2 major retailers, Target and Walmart which made for quick convenient trips for groceries and what not (both were walking distance, maybe 5 minutes). There are also plenty of restaurants and bars, 1 of which is right in front of Target, near by.
Amanda made our stay seamless from check-in to check-out. If we ever visit again, we'll definitely look into staying at her home.
