My stay with Brendan and Stina was brief, as I only needed a bed for a night, but the room was clean and comfortable. Brendan happened to be sick and Stina was working late, and I had to leave in the morning, so I didn't get a chance to meet them, but they had very clear/helpful instructions for everything so my stay went very smoothly regardless. There are homeless people out on the street but they didn't bother anyone, I parked my car on the street with some items visible in the back seat and it was untouched. There is metered parking all around the block (8am-8pm). I'm not sure if there is free parking nearby or not. I don't think I'd feel totally comfortable walking around the area at night but during the day I felt perfectly safe. Brendan and Stina were friendly and helpful on the airbnb chat. Also the bed is very comfortable (my first solid night of sleep in a few weeks!)
