Dave was a great host. Never formally met him but there was no need to. He was prompt with communication and clear with instruction. This is strictly an Airbnb so everything you need to know about your stay is clearly spelled out for you. Furthermore, this was a last minute booking scheduled the day of my stay. Dave was able to quickly accommodate without hassle.
The unit itself upon entry displays very apparent wears and tears on the walls and along the stairs from consistent use and was discouraging at first sight. However as you climb up into the living quarters, the charm is clear with it's minimalistic furnishings and the artsy vibe it displays that quite appropriately parallels the neighborhood it resides in. Bed is comfortable, shower is great. Biggest bonus for me was the Sonos sound system. It's easy to operate and functions throughout all speakers in the home (living room, bathroom and bedroom). So pouring me and my girl some wine and turning on our favorite tunes was a pleasure for us. Although the bed is indeed comfortable, you'll have to get over the outside noise. If you are a light sleeper like I am, it may be an issue for you. Sirens were frequently heard and street noise in general was just a little bothersome. Nothing to cry about but it's just something to note for anyone that cares to know. Other than those minor issues, the place was good and suited it's purpose.
