The house is comfortable, clean, and relaxing. The pictures are accurate and, yes, the kitchen is great. The house rules/instructions are on the counter in case you have any questions (such as what to do with recycling versus garbage). There are plenty of options for sleeping arrangements including two queen beds and two couches upstairs along with another couch downstairs. There are several televisions and the set in the living room is hooked up with Apple TV. You can log into your satellite/cable account to watch shows for various channels (History, ESPN, etc.) or rent shows or movies a la cart instead. My family and I spent much of our downtime watching shows from the comfy couch. You have to use zone passes for (parallel) parking. However, the house is close enough to downtown you can take Uber or Lyft to sporting events, concerts, and bars. There's a Safeway nearby for any supplies or groceries you need. You enter a PIN on a numeric keypad to enter the house. It's convenient because you don't have to fumble in your pockets or worry about losing the key. We love the house and would definitely be willing to stay there again in the future.
