We didn't see the host--didn't realize he wasn't going to be there when we booked. We managed to contact him to get the key code to enter, but didn't see anyone until the following morning, when we met the co-host.

We were uncomfortable with the state of the front entry steps and the inability to use the back inside stairway in case of fire (we're a little paranoid I guess). Ditto with the necessity to use a key to exit the front door. These seem to be safety issues.

The co-host was pleasant but we had little contact with him. The neighborhood was pleasant and safe, and near a bus stop to get us downtown and to the major tourist attractions. The location is within about 8 blocks of a few restaurants, and we ate at one of them two nights.
