The hosts of this place were wonderful— they were very communicative, they checked in often and were very quick to respond to all messages. They were also very accommodating which is so important when traveling to a new place. They came in and cleaned every morning as well and made sure nothing became cluttered or messy. That being said, we did have a few more encounters with cockroaches than we would have liked.
Furthermore, the house is very VERY close to EVERYTHING! Public transit was SUPER easy and available everywhere making it easy for us to explore all day and all night. Our Uber rides were never more than $10-$15 to get us home on the nights we couldn’t stand up any longer. However, we would have really liked to have known beforehand that there’s a homeless camp on the same block as the home. We explored and met MANY MANY kind, neighborly people all around. But we also had a young boy run up and steal a phone straight out of our hands before taking off in a sprint as we were boarding a train. The neighborhood was really hit or miss for safety; as long as you are smart about it and aware of your surroundings, you should be okay.
