Dan and his place were great. I'll admit I had booker's remorse after I made the reservation. I started worrying it'd feel like a basement -cold, damp, dark, low ceilings- but I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. The place is downright spacious with full height ceilings and immaculately clean. A friend even commented on a photo I posted while there on how clean the floors looked!
Location was good. Its a block from the train, making getting around super easy. Took five minutes to get downtown. There isn't too much immediately walkable, but enough basics -cafe, coffee shop, bar, drug store. And multiple interesting neighborhoods are just five minutes away by car or cab. Plus, again, the train is just so close.
Dan was also a reliable and communicative host - from sending information, making sure everything was prepared and making himself available should anything come up.
Definitely recommend.
