Mayra's place is great. It's a 15 minute walk to the convention center right down 5th ave. The apartment was clean and spacious for my whole family. Way more comfortable than a conference hotel. Communication from the host was fantastic. Lots of people on the street so you feel safe walking at night. Building locks the front door automatically, and seemed quite safe. The notes about noise are correct however really to be expected in a pub district, having lived in a similar area before. We'd definitely stay again.
