Blake's place was as described, easy to access, clean, and comfortable. There's a shared Blue Bike that has a station nearby which we found really convenient! While it's definitely in a more residential neighborhood, there are a couple of bar/restarauants within a few blocks, and quite a bit more if you don't mind walking further. As noted in the description, this is attached to their house, and you can occasionally hear them living their lives (as they should!) Blake's house is a fine home-base!
