This house is in a good location, not too far from the university district. There's ample parking on the street, and it's in a quiet neighborhood. The hosts communicate clearly and left great instructions in a binder along with restaurant recommendations. It's a warm and cozy environment, but could use some updating.
Some newer furniture would give it a more modern feel along with new carpeting. It's bulging in a few places and just looks dated, as does the bathroom. That's in need of the most attention. The bathroom sink is tiny and there's no electric outlet in the bathroom. So anyone who wants to dry their hair needs to go into the bedroom where there's a mirror and plug. So that's not real convenient. Guests would also appreciate an appliance for making fresh coffee rather than having instant as the only choice.
While the downstairs unit is comfortable and relatively quiet, you will hear people walking upstairs since a family lives there. This was especially noticeable at 3:30 a.m. as someone was walking around for awhile. We also heard a loud "clang" every 20 minutes or so after that. Not sure what that noise was, but it made it difficult to fall back to sleep. We are light sleepers and if you are too, this may pose a problem.
Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.
