I stayed at David's place because it was an easy walk to where I was working. My teenage son and I really liked the place and appreciated the extra touches and the fun design. I understand why some people may be concerned a bit about the neighborhood, it is not in a touristy or gentrified area with restaurants or shops (unless you count the Citgo...), but it is convenient to the train and there seems to be plenty of parking making it a great jumping off point to go just about anywhere in the city. It felt like a bargain, particularly for my purposes.
