Don't be fooled when arriving at the Bown, parking is in the back, which is dated, but once inside everything is clean and modern. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of being in a residential neighborhood, but were only 10-15 minutes from the sites we had planned on visiting in Boise..the zoo, old penitentiary, downtown, the river walk, etc... Who knew there was so much to do Boise! The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pans. The full size fridge is so much nicer than a hotel size. It is located on the south east end of the city. I liked the fact that Debbie, who manages the site, called once to check if we needed anything. Fun Trip!
