We had an excellent stay at James' apartment! Although we did not meet in person, only talked over the chat, I can say he is a very friendly and helpful host. I really appreciated the ease and flexibility of the check-in/out process and the lack of additional fees. He keeps this place clean and decorated nicely. The apartment is in a nice/safe neighborhood, located closely to many bars/restaurants and the beach! The only downfall is that it is a fairly busy area (but that's to be expected of the city) so if you are driving be prepared to spend a lot of time searching for a spot to parallel park on narrow streets (if you can't find a spot, we had better luck looking a little ways away on lakeview avenue and there is a 24/7 pay to park lot a short walk from the apartment, located between Clark and Commonwealth on W Beldan Ave. We paid $36 to park there for over 12 hours overnight.)
