It was our first time staying with an Air bnb host and we had a great experience. The arrangements were easy. The room was even nicer than the pictures and spotlessly clean. The neighborhood is lovely and very safe. We had no trouble parking on the street. We slept well, with a minimum of street noise.
The only thing to be aware of is the nice thick walls, which make the room cool and quiet, also make wireless internet connection difficult. We could not pick up the wireless network or use our hot spot in the room. Better access is available in the sitting area.
