This is a very centrally-located flat that is a short walk or car-ride (sans traffic) to much of the city. I found the home to be very cozy and hip on the inside, with a well-informed, gracious host. AND the freezer is stocked with Häagen Dazs ice cream!
The outside of the home looks very dodgy, with a lot of homeless/transient people, garbage, graffiti, etc on the street. This may cause some to second-guess their choice of booking (it did for me initially). However, I had no issues with during my stay, and would encourage potential guests to not judge this book by its cover. Like any big city, vehicle break-ins are a problem in this area. If you are driving a car, be ready to bring everything inside (even wires, blankets, shoes).
