Very friendly and helpful owner. Neighbourhood looks a little rough (it's in an up and coming area) but was perfectly safe. We parked our car outside Devan's place and it was not marked or interfered with.
It's an easy, short walk to the nearest light rail (muni) station (Gilman/Paul) on 3rd Street. Devan provided a muni card with at least $5 credit on it so it was easy to get into town and back. Make sure you top the card up when finished.
We had a busy but pleasant stay.
