The home is in a great, walkable, location and feels very safe. The backyard area is wonderful and nice to relax in and dog friendly. The only 2 negatives are 1. the pillows are very, very thin and not great for sleep 2. there is no dishwasher and the cooking amenities are very slim. The stove top is 2 burners.
