Evan was a great host. Although we didn't meet, he was quick to respond, and provided detailed information on how to check-in (which was easy), and also tips for places to eat, etc. We didn't have a car, but there are multiple bus stops within easy walking distance, which takes you to all the places you would want to go (e.g. downtown, Gas Lamp district, etc.). The airport's nearby, but there is a curfew so you don't hear the flights in the night (with some exceptions). The neighbourhood felt safe and secure, and as two women, we didn't have concerns about staying here (or taking public transportation). You can walk 15-20 minutes to get to Little Italy if you want to eat, but keep in mind that walking back is uphill, so I would recommend buses/cabs for those with mobility issues. We enjoyed our time here!
