Our host was so accommodating. He definitely went above and beyond to make our group feel welcome. He called ahead and asked our preference on sleeping arrangements which he totally didn't have to do but was so nice. He was thoughtful about providing breakfast foods which we LOVED. He just made us feel very welcome.
The neighborhood was nice but we weren't around much. We went jogging in the mornings through the neighborhood and found interesting parks and such but didn't end up visiting them. We also loved the New Seasons Market just around the corner. It had everything we needed for packing lunches and snacks. It was a very short walk.
