Didn't hear from the host until about 45mins before I was meant to check-in, which was a little disconcerting as I was entering the city. I was about 20mins away from assuming I had to cancel and find a hotel.

Once checked in, though, Eric was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The place was clean and had the essentials—comfortable enough, but not somewhere you'll want to spend your spare time relaxing around.

If you're spending most of your time downtown count on a $20-$35 cab ride each way, depending on traffic.
