Noah was a welcoming host who made totally clear the directions to the house. He is happy to chat about the neighbourhood providing great background information on local amenities and attractions. If you have a bike no problem you can lock it up in front of the house. This was my first Airbnb stay and I would totally recommend Noah as being a great host. The room itself was spotless and you share the living room kitchen and bathroom. As for the neighbourhood you are pretty much between Comnercial Drive and downtown and it's easy to get around either via bus or (much better) by bike.
