Please read this review in full: The positives are that the hosts are responsive & the duplex was well cleaned (expected but appreciated). Beds were also very comfy.
However, there were negatives:
A) This location may be close geographically to the convention center, but it is NOT safely "walkable to the convention center". You have 2 walking options 1) walk for about 3 blocks where you cannot access the sidewalks because individuals experiencing houselessness have tents up or 2) walk a long stretch along a highway (without sidewalks). Thankfully, Lyft and Uber were fairly inexpensive, but to quote a Lyft driver who picked us up "Oh, you girls got duped, huh?". The area is fairly desolate & has an overall feeling of being unsafe.
B) The place is secure with a gate that closes & requires a code which provided us solace, but it does not close right away (takes 3 minutes). We had no way to manually make it close. This was pretty unsettling if anyone was returning alone late at night.
