The host greeted my family in person and made sure they had everything they needed. When a massive power outage in the city took out most of the surrounding blocks, he made sure we had flashlights and candles, just in case the rental might lose power (it didn't, by some twist of good fortune). It was the perfect location for us, and the stay was seamless.

Wonderful location on a quiet street. Walking distance to several good restaurants. The apartment is spacious and the bed is very comfortable. Howard is a great host; easy to reach and very responsive. We loved having the garage /driveway to park in so had no worries about parking.

Such a cute neighborhood, very walkable, felt very safe. My biggest complaint would be that its not very soundproof and the pillows on the bed were not very comfortable.

Kitchen setup was perfect for snacks and water bottle storage. We mostly ate out or went to the local coffee house for our morning coffee. Parking was excellent, especially for smaller cars. House was extremely clean. We have nothing negative to say.
