Ranny might be super host of super host. He's friendly, genuine, thoughtful, and extremely helpful. An early reviewer mentioned that the area was a bit "sketch" - I think I would characterize it more like "authentic." At no time did I ever feel uncomfortable nor threatened, however we did choose to return to the area via Lyft when it was late. I think it's prudent to always consider the neighborhood in any big city residential area. The folk's in Ranny's neighborhood were helpful and friendly, but at 1 AM, there weren't many of them around and the 1/4 mile walk from the metro station to Ranny's space can feel uncomfortable when one looks so clearly out of place. Still, great place, great experience!
