Vivian's place was a bit hard to find, and the uber driver had a difficult time. It was convenient (walkable) to almost everything we were interested in seeing. There were several homeless people in the area but none approached us for money. In fact, I took a nasty fall on a corner sidewalk and a kind homeless man immediately came to help me up. All and all we enjoyed our stay there. It is spacious & has a nice bathroom.
A couple of suggestions if you rent Vivian's place. There are no top sheets and unless you drink coffee black you will need to bring sugar and creamer.
