O'Dell is a wonderful host. He was there for the check in and check out and provided us with great tips and info. The house was very comfortable and roomy. The neighborhood feels safe during the day but is a bit on the rough side. I would avoid walking around after dark - I was told to stay away from a project a few blocks away but no issues during the day. Lots of good places to eat nearby, you can park in the driveway and subway is 5 blocks away. Really pleasant stay.
