Ours was a three-night stay. A college buddy and I (each flew in from different corner of the US) wanted to have a private place to visit between museum-ing and dining out. Allan is a responsive and friendly host and his place was just right for our needs - clean and comfortable (nice bed! soft sheets!) and private. As for location: we walked (to nearby spots for food and drink, and further to the vibrant Union Market), and we also took advantage of Metro and the MetroBus (very convenient) to get downtown for galleries and museums. (And for those who prefer to drive, there is a garage.) The neighborhood is lively and seems safe. It helped that the weather was terrific and there was an arts festival going on, but I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again (with a friend, or on my own).
