Nicole was a great host, very responsive and helpful.
The home has its quirks but the bathtub had noticeable mold on the bottom of it, the sink is rotting through, the towels had stains on them and the bed, although comfortable, was a bit too small.
The area itself is not the safest, but with any city if you just practice common sense you will be okay. One morning I walked down the road to a local coffee shop and was followed home by a man who made me very uncomfortable. Luckily I was able to get him to leave but definitely did not feel safe knowing he knew where I was staying.
The walls are also very thin, if you are trying to sleep in you may get woken up by the neighbors dog or walking around.
