Bill's place is easy walking distance to public transportation, groceries, the downtown art scene (the Broad is just up the street!) and the convention center. Bill was readily available by text or email and answered all my questions in reasonable time. His place is comfortable, very clean and welcoming, and quiet at night after downtown cleared out. There is a Starbucks, RiteAid, Walgreens and Whole Food within easy walking distance. I didn't get a chance to enjoy the pool, but maybe next time (February was a bit chilly to think about going for a swim). After walking miles each day I could soak my feet in the surprisingly large bathtub and relax to plan my next day. Bill was available when I needed to ask questions and checked with me to find out just how much communication I needed from him throughout my stay. He's a great host.
