Yes very welcoming and nicely setup for family entertaining. The biggest negative issue for me was the neighborhood, which was not comforting by the way the neighbors don't maintain their homes and use them to run businesses and actually very trashy. The home was clean enough, but simple things like the front door that was dirty needing cleaning and a coat of paint. Over all it was fine and I know that area is just that way, the citys don't have any regulations keeping people in check, because our daughter lives near by in the same type of situation.
