We really enjoyed our stay at Gene's place which was very nice, very clean and very spacious! Gene was very nice and easy to work with and we felt that if any problems arose that he would be there to address them, though we experienced none during our stay.
We chose Gene's place for the value and because we preferred a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown. His townhouse was always a nice, relaxing place to return to after we explored and enjoyed the downtown and other places outside of the city. We found it easy to get to places in and out of the city by car though it might be a less convenient location for those using public transportation. Gene's place was also very conveniently located to good restaurants and other conveniences including a good produce market. We were somewhat surprised not to see the sun shine in the "Sunset District" while we were there and heard from locals that the sun doesn't shine much there but the sun did shine through the clouds on some days, adding brightness. Additionally, we intended the town house as a comfortable retreat after days of sightseeing in other places and it served this purpose well.
