The location is fantastic - a brief walk to the Blue line, with plenty of shops, cafes, and restaurants nearby. Area felt totally safe, both at night and early in the morning. Night life is lively on the weekends - which is cool, but earplugs would be good if you're a light sleeper!
We never met in person, but Nicky was friendly, communicative, and a great host overall. The building itself is on the older side, but we were never uneasy about safety or security. Overall, a perfectly comfortable place to stay if you're going to be out exploring the city most of the day anyway!
