I was in a tight spot and needed a place to stay in the area for a week on short notice. I was a little skeptical going in based on the street view of the area and the list of rules the host disclosed, but most seemed pretty fair. Upon arriving, I found that the area was quite nice, the apartment itself is just on a busy street (no noise issues,) and Josh was a very gracious, accommodating host. The space is *very* clean and worked well as a base from which to explore the city and is only a few blocks from the train, city bikes, and waterfront. I was also able to do work from my room without issue. I probably wouldn't advise this space as the best to go to for a romantic weekend getaway or something, but it is a great value and suited my needs well.
