The home is a good size for a family or two or an extended family. It is simple and met our needs for a clean, comfortable stay. The owner is very responsive, which was great, although we only had a question or two. The neighborhood is quiet and appeared to be very safe. Less than 2 miles away is a great shopping center (restaurants, cafes, and stores), and there are many other strip malls/centers within minutes from the house. I think it was only about 15 minutes to downtown. We were so glad we could bring our dog, too. We could easily walk him. As a note, if you have a sensitive-nosed pet, it will sniff around, as there have been other pets at the house, too. We would stay again.
