Very cool space located in a really cool area of the city. I've seen descriptions of the neighborhood as "gritty" or similar...maybe, but we did not feel unsafe. I think, like in any city or neighborhood that is unfamiliar, it's probably wise to be mindful and use common sense, but definitely do not avoid the area. It's rich in history and has some really interesting attractions. Barrett is SUPER responsive and obviously knows the city well. He gave us solid recommendations of where to eat/drink. The home itself is very attractive and well appointed. I really appreciated the fact that it retains some of the original details. I would definitely stay here again.
