As a first time AirBNB'r this was an experience that will have me doing it again. This was a great experience.
The communication ahead of time with Alan was great. The directions were clear on how to get into the apartment and what was needed before we were left.
The apartment was clean, safe, and just as described. We were a group of 4 and our two kids (14 & 10) used the pull out couch which worked perfectly. I don't feel unsafe walking at any time of day.
The location was awesome. It is a safe neighborhood with a public transportation station just a few blocks away. We visited Golden China once or twice also. As Milwaukeeans we also check out the three rather close beer gardens which were great.
For the three days we were there we drove down to the monument/mall area one day, took the subway another, and Ubered another. All worked great.
I would definitely try and stay with Alan again if we went back.
