We had asked the host to bring something to the unit. They quickly responded saying that they would, but we never got it. It wasn't a big deal thing, so it was really fine. If being a block away from the homeless area of people living in tents makes you uncomfortable, you may want to book elsewhere. But having the gate and a couple locks on the door, we felt plenty okay. I would stay here again. It's close to everything and a cute unit! Host left easy and clear instructions so we didn't have any problems!
