Sams rental is a good deal. While small, it has everything you will need and the downstairs tv room is great and easy to use (we watched soccer). It is in a happening part of downtown that appears to be "up and coming". Many young people out and about at night visiting the local breweries, distilleries and restaurants. Construction happening during the day, converting old spaces into new ones. We walked all over the downtown area from Sams place and used the B-cycles to get a bit further. If you are uncomfortable with the homeless on the sidewalks, stairs, etc, then you might want to look elsewhere. However, we had no issues with anyone while we were there.
