My partner and I were on the fence about booking a stay where the host lived in the same space at the same time, but we rolled the dice and it worked out really well for us. Adam was very nice, super communicative, and provided a lot of privacy. It felt a bit awkward using the living room and kitchen while Adam was home, but it started to feel like a home away from home. He goes to great lengths to make your stay hotel-quality.
Lyft/Uber rides are anywhere from 15-35 bucks depending on the time of day if you're trying to get into the city, which was an expense that we didn't necessarily factor in, so you may want to do your homework with public transit ahead of time. That being said, everything was about 15 minutes away.
