I loved Alex & Shelby's place! It was in a quiet neighborhood but within walking distance to several places. We made numerous trips downtown as we were there for a research conference and also wanted to see the tourist attractions. Keep in mind that it is a bit further out if transportation is an issue. We had a car, but parking is overpriced. We gave public transport a try but ultimately decided on Uber & Lyft (not expensive + saved on time). The basement apartment, with a private entrance, was perfect for us! The shower was probably our favorite part. The hosts went above and beyond with their hospitality, including a coffee station, guide to the city, and a good morning text to check in and make sure nothing was needed. They also allowed us to check in an hour early, which we greatly appreciated after an eight hour drive.
Highly recommend!
