Very clean and what you see in the pictures is what you get!! We walked into town several times and we did encounter homeless folks along our way. We never felt unsafe or bothered. We always greeted them with a hello as we walked on by. Be smart and aware of your surroundings, which is what you should do in any city. The neighborhood was quiet and there were scooters and the trolly close by if you don't want to walk. The Lyft/Ubers we used at night were not expensive either. John put together a fantastic guidebook with info about your stay and the neighborhood. It was very helpful and a nice touch. We didn't get to enjoy the backyard area due to the chilly weather, but it looked inviting and we did have a couple of oranges from the orange tree. No TV, as stated, but we were gone so much of our days/evenings we didn't miss it!! The kitchen had what we needed to make breakfasts and lunches. We were comfortable and relaxed in this space!!! Great location!! We'd stay here again.
