We loved our stay here. Brian is an excellent host, and the location is quite close to the action of the city which is great. However, I wouldn't recommend the neighbourhood to everyone -- locals like to hang out on the street and make a lot of noise, and they will cat-call women when they are alone (though they seem to be harmless, and were generally friendly when I was around). Personally I would be happy to stay here again and recommend it to younger people who don't mind a developing neighbourhood.
