A friend recommended I stayed in Bywater and I was not dissapointed at all. One of the best cultural experiences I have had in the states and could not recommend the area highly enough.
Travelling alone and arriving at night, i felt a little bit exposed and uneasy staying on the ground floor but after exploring the area the next day I was assured that it was a safe area, just with a few character adding rough edges.
I'd recommend this airbnb highly.
