The house was very clean and it was in a neighborhood that was very close (within 5 min.) to NOAD and Camp North End for restaurants, coffee shops, etc. It rained most of the time we were there, so we did not use any of the outside area at all. Overall it was a very nice house to stay in for a family. However, our biggest complaint was that there was not enough furniture in the living room (pics were not accurate) and the beds and pillows were very uncomfortable in all the rooms. We would not stay again for that reason, but if that is not what is most important to you, I would recommend.
