The area is walkable and close to public transportation. This could be important as parking in the area is a challenge. There is street parking available, but it's not always possible to get a spot right close to the house. Also you need to acquire a parking permit somehow - I did not ask the host if he could print one for me as I was able to obtain one by another means but that's something to consider. Other than that, it was quiet, clean, comfortable, and Brandon was super friendly.
