Ben was a great host. We had good communication throughout, and the house was just as described. He provided us with all sorts of info about restaurants and bars and things to do. And he made sure to tell us to either uber or grab a cab when coming back to the house at night as it can be a little bit sketchy in this neighborhood...we had no problems and I felt safe at all times. Loved the house! It was more spacious than we anticipated. Wished we had stayed here longer
