This home is located in the up and coming Porters Community, a multi-cultural/ diverse neighborhood. Porters mostly consists of locals and is a family friendly environment. A few homes on the street of the townhome are not up to date, however, the neighbors are very friendly and there has been no issues of safety with any of our guests/ or in the neighborhood. The next door neighbor does have a dog that barks at noises when he is let out back, he is not an outside dog and not out 24/7. We advise looking into other homes in the area if a barking dog will ruin your stay.

Every once in a blue moon, the neighbors may have a small gathering and play loud music outside that can be heard at the home. This does not happen frequently and isn't a daily thing, however, we want to make it clear that it could possibly happen during your stay.

If the description of the property stated townhouse, then I missed it and so was surprised when there were stairs but all worked out fine. Loved that it was dog-friendly. They even have doggie poo bags in the backyard for you which was nice. They made it very easy for accessing the property and you have two parking spots if needed.
