Brian's place is well-appointed and a 25 minute walk from downtown, which was convenient for my colleague and I at our conference. The kitchen is equipped, shower is great and beds are comfortable. The second rental apartment is upstairs, and you can really hear everything that is going on up there. If you are a light sleeper or don't like noise, that would definitely be an issue. The location is convenient, but not really any restaurants within a 15 minute walk, and to get to downtown you have to walk through an area that was fine during the day, but that I wouldn't cross alone at night. Brian was very easy to communicate with, responsive, and accommodating at check-in.
