Generally, the place is nice and Tao is a great, very responsive host. Technically, the house is not far from downtown, maybe a 10 minute drive or so. But the area seemed a bit sketchy, especially at night. My uber driver told me that it was not a safe area to walk at night. I didn't realize this and it didn't matter since I was working during my trip, but it definitely was a little unsettling to hear that.
