Apartment was great, just like the listing! Farshad was great at communication. We ran out of conditioner at one point, and he dropped off a new bottle that night.
The area is "gentrifying", so there's lots of restaurants and high-rise buildings, but I still saw the occasional homeless person in the area. I'm used to seeing them where I'm from, so if you ignore them and mind your own business, you should be fine.
