The room was simple and very clean. Our hosts were rarely there so it was quiet and we could move about freely to sit ina screened in porch facing the backyard. We did not rent a car, but took Uber everywhere for 2 days. It may actually have been more reasonable than a rental, and the ease of it was worth it. You can walk about 4 blocks to some nice restaurants, which we did both nights. There is also a post office and a wonderful French bakery with giant ham and cheese croissants for breakfast! PS. The bathroom next to the room is yours, no sharing with hosts (didnt know this at first!)
