A nice, comfortable, and convenient place to stay near the city, but outside the bustle of downtown. It was nice to have a more homey feel, rather than a hotel. The host was very helpful and friendly! It was a good deal for the price. The backyard was pleasant and I loved the chicken coop! The area is full of nice little ethnic eateries and shops. We used a car for all our transportation, but taking public transit was an option. I am not sure I would feel comfortable walking around the neighborhood by myself at night however, being a woman and a more car-oriented community. The space was large enough to comfortably fit a few people. The fully stocked kitchen was a plus. Our only complaint was that although the shower was big, the shower head was difficult to use as there was no hook for it.
