Alex's place was damn clean and easy to find. He was extremely responsive pre and post booking. I personally didn't get a chance to see/go to the places that he suggested, but I appreciate host's that go a bit out of their way to give us any tips and tricks around town. During my trip, I rented a car. At times parking can be a hassle during certain hours which was expected, but after staying a few days and getting familiar with the neighborhood it was easy to find parking. I read some comments from other airbnb users that said the area can seem a bit sketch. In my opinion, I never felt that. And as Alex stated in response to those who had those complaints, the police station is a block or two away. Any human being would be an absolute idiot to try and do something that close to a police station. So don't let those reviewers scare you. There were nights I came home at midnight or later, no issues a all.
