Once you get over the slight fears of the location and neighborhood, it's very safe and relaxing.. Yes the area isn't the greatest, and there's absolutely some sketchy people walking around a few blocks over, but this street is actually OK and the neighbors are all pretty cool. Didn't even see anyone outside hardly.. The house is amazing!!! Perfect amount of space for a family. The hot tub is a very nice addition as well, although we would have preferred fresh water instead of used. (foam build up had to be dealt with) the kitchen is massive and boasted a restaurant gas cook top / griddle that was my favorite feature!!! (I would recommend instructions for this, because lighting the griddle was a little difficult) the basement TV room was super nice and cozy. Loved the reclining couch!!! The deck and back yard make the house feel secluded and private. It was nice to unwind and enjoy nature. The wild bamboo and wall lizards were pretty interesting to see!
Overall this place is fantastic especially for the price. Excellent value!!! Some minor repairs were needed here and there like the light fixtures and cracked floor tiles. Also the fridge had a water dispenser that didn't work that we were bummed out about.
We were super close to the zoo, museums, and downtown, so that was also a plus..
Again this was a great value and there were many excellent features that other vrbos / irbnbs do not have or provide. We would come back again for sure!!! Thank you!!!
