Tara's place was cozy and clean! We were comfortable during our entire stay. Kitchen had everything we needed. The only notes I would make to other guests considering staying here: 1. Mattresses are FIRM. I liked them fine but my wife prefers softer =) 2. The one bathroom is in a bit of an odd location. You have to walk through one of the bedrooms to get to it but it didn't bother us as a family. But if you're staying with friends or co-workers, etc. it might be a little awkward going and coming through someone's bedroom. Overall though, I highly recommend this place! Great location walkable to A LOT of places and right in between downtown and campus and surrounded by beautiful, older homes in a very cool neighborhood. It was peaceful and quiet for us the entire two nights we stayed. Tara was an excellent host and responded quickly to my messages. We didn't get to take advantage of the balcony or deck in the rear due to cold weather and snow, but they looked very inviting!
