The area is great. Very short drive to everything that's happening. Nice view of the city from the living room. Didn't take advantage of the back patio. It rained everyday we were there. If you're not an old home person then this isn't for you. This isn't a total gut job. It is, however, a cute remodel. We did have a hard time with communication with the host but it must have been my luck because every other review speaks highly of Garrett's responsiveness. My family enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and my kids loved the chalk board.
