We were so glad that we chose to stay on the eastside. Patrick's place was so convenient, had character, and was very affordable. We drove but barely had to use our car, the bus picked us up right outside the airbnb. It was a quick bus ride downtown. There were so many good restaurants, breweries, and coffee shops--all within walking distance. The place itself was perfect--very well decorated and had everything we needed (kitchen, fireplace, washer/dryer, pinball machine). We will definitely be back.
