Very easy to walk to many things. There are lots of homeless in the area but I never felt threatened or unsafe. The washing machine was in-operable for my stay which was a bummer but Nick offered to reimburse me if I used a local laundromat (which Ididn't because I didn't have the time for that, but I appreciated the offer to compensate for the broken machine). Super communicative and probably the most comfortable bed I have ever had at an Air BnB! It is downtown so lots of people out 'partying' but it only woke me up once .. lol ....
