My friends and I stayed with Bellanger during Labor Day Weekend, as we had a group of people visiting for North Coast Music Festival. Our original group had 9 people and due to the previous reviews left and the uncertainty of the neighborhood, our group dwindled to only three people to stay during our reservation. It actually ended up working out beautifully in our favor. The home is spacious and well suited for a large group, even though we initially didn't have as many as planned.
The street was often quiet during the day and night. Bellanger has provided many security measures on the property including multiple gates/doors to be unlocked in order to get inside and cameras on the outside. This property and its centralized location allowed us easy and quick access to many parts of the city and suburbs.
Bellanger was easy to get ahold of and did a complete check-in, walk through when we arrived as well as a complete check-out, walk out when we left.
If you are open minded and enjoy being the change you wish to see in the world, you will stay at this property with no issue. If you are close minded and conditioned to staying in gentrified white neighborhoods, you will not enjoy this stay. It's all about your perspective. For the price and location, this property was perfect for our group. I look forward to organizing another stay in the city and will definitely stay with Bellanger again.
