We spent 7/24-7/30 here. The location is actually in a good area in my opinion. I read some reviews about it not being in the best area. There are a few homeless campsites at the entrance of one of the roads but we did not personally experience anything we deemed dangerous in any way. The airbnb is actually across the street from a very cute french bakery. We sampled a cookie and tart that were both amazing. If you rent a car for the trip parking space is limited but that bakery will allow you to park across the street in front of their shop after they close (3pm). There is also a bar on either side of the place. We are not big drinkers but they were offering beer and a shot for $10 so maybe check that out. Its called Parkers and they seemed very friendly. Across the street on the corner is Lucky Noodles cafe. Its a very cute restaurant serving thai food. The red curry is by far one of the best meals Ive ever had. We also enjoyed the hangover wonton soup and papaya salad. The owner is very sweet and the shop has an outdoor area with lights to eat outside. The airbnb was also just a short (enjoyable) walk to some cute restaurants/bars. We checked out Dew Drop Inn which was our favorite bar. It gives very bohemian eclectic vibes, the food is amazing, and the drinks were delicious (and strong). We decided to walk when we first arrived to see how far away we were to some of the main attractions. Union station is about a 45 minute walk from the airbnb to give context. We loved how well the space was set up. The stairs are a little scary at night but we left the bathroom light on so we could see better placement of our feet due to the narrowness of the stairs. They do also have a washer and dryer for use which had previous bad reviews but worked very well for us. They have a huge flat screen tv in the living room area set up to watch whatever you like. Kitchen was equipped with anything you would need to make a meal plus they provide coffee. The shower was very nice and the bathtub is such a treat. The only complaint I have is the sky light. It is directly over the bed and we noticed that there is a porch looking over the sky light. There is someone who lives up there also because we would hear them go up and down the stairs. Luckily we did not see anyone looking into the window because like I said it is directly over the bed. I think that there was an attempt to place a tarp over it because we did notice one blowing around the window. I was a little uneasy at night having that porch looking over top of us as we slept not knowing who could be up there peeping. For the price, the space, and the area I think it is a great place to stay. The owner was able to let us check in early which was very kind as well.
