This place was so cute. The balcony and patio areas were prefect for sitting outside in the evenings. The lack of a communal seating area was a little odd, but it worked fine for us as we weren't there much anyway, and we have a bunch of teens. So, we just gave them them the entire upstairs area, which made them happy. The host was very responsive with any questions we had. The place was clean. The beds (at least downstairs) were soooo comfy. The kitchen didn't have much to cook with, but we made it work. Again, we weren't there much anyway. It's on a busy street so parking was a little tricky at times, but it was nice to be so close to everything. We would definitely recommend this host/place to our friends.
