This was our first airbnb experience and a very positive one! Edric was very informative about restaurant, groc, and activity offerings in the area. He was specific and timely about how to get into the apartment, and where we could find things such as extra blankets, pillows, etc. We walked from his apartment to downtown every day, taking about 20 minutes. I loved the neighborhood and thought the homes were adorable. We weren't comfortable walking back at night, however, since there were many homeless people walking around. Overall I much preferred staying in his neighborhood than right in downtown. It was close enough for convenience but far enough away to give a better feel for the city.
