I booked the room in Melissa and Ray's home for my parents who were visiting from out of town. (I live in the neighborhood.) Ray was very quick to respond to my initial inquiry and was very responsive throughout the entire process.

Melissa and Ray were very welcoming and took time to talk to my parents and me during check-in. My folks can be chatty, so I felt that it was nice of both Ray and Melissa to take the extra time to talk with them (and me).

Everything was as described in the listing and extremely clean. Even though the cross streets can be busy, the house sits on a rather quiet street, the room is in the back of the house making it even quieter than one might expect for city living. Even my country mouse parents remarked on how quiet it is.

An excellent first time experience with AirBnB for my parents. I highly recommend Melissa and Ray's and will try to book with them again should the need arise. And, I am happy to have met neighbors I might not have met otherwise.
