Gene was an awesome host! Super cool to chat with on just about anything. He was extremely helpful during my 2 night stay over Memorial Day weekend with my friend and I from offering to drive us to/from the airport, a few rides around town so we could become familiar with the area and great suggestions for things to do. The room itself was simple, clean and comfortable (esp the bed). The neighborhood is quiet, so if you're looking for something lively and super accessible, I wouldn't suggest it. To get the most out of your stay with Gene, I'd highly recommend you having a car. Overall, my first airbnb experience was great!
