The house is just as advertised. No surprises (which is a good thing). We had a rental car, which we found very useful. There is a bus line less than 2 blocks away, but it was nice to have ready access to transportation. Although we were supposed to be able to park in the driveway, another car was there the whole weekend. That was a complete non-issue, however, as the neighborhood is very quiet and not at all busy. We were able to park directly in front of the house every time we came back. There is a good Mexican restaurant about 2 blocks away, but as luck would have it, the restaurant owners were on vacation when we were in town. (Again, having a rental car was good.). Inside the house was exactly as advertised. Comfortable house, well equipped kitchen. The backyard was wonderful on nice days. We were in town for a graduation at Reed College (under 2 miles away) and the backyard was great for sitting around with our grandson (the graduate) and some of his friends.
