Amanda is a gracious and hospitable host. Our flight was late, and she not only waited for us but she also made sure we were able to find places that delivered food and found us a wine shop. She's earnest and willing to make her home available to travelers like us who appreciate her good will.
However, I was mislead by the reviews and some of her descriptions of the area, assuming it was a safe and pleasant neighborhood. But it isn't. The cops blocked off the street on a couple of nights to car traffic, so our Lyft drivers couldn't drop us off at the apartment building, and we had to walk down the street, not knowing what we were getting into. I don't know what the nature of the blockage was, but there is a police station on that block and we were taken aback by all the flashing police lights. On several occasions in daylight, we also passed several men passed out on the streets, and there was a good deal of disruptive behavior that we middle-class folk aren't accustomed to in our home neighborhoods.
The apartment and the building are fine if you can tolerate the ambiance of the area.
