first, Damani was a great host, he was very responsive to anything we asked or needed. The apartment was in a central location, 10 minutes to downtown or midtown. with that said, it's clearly an up and coming neighborhood at the edge of some questionable areas. I never felt unsafe, but wouldn't want my girlfriend to come here alone. I would describe this place as "fine" ... affordable, but nothing to get excited about. if you have back issues do not stay here--thr mattresses are terribly uncomfortable and almost flat. the living room follows suite, with some very uncomfortable seating. the apartment is very musky, but the owner assured me it was the crawlspace and not (what appeared to be) mold growing in the kitchen and bathroom. this is definitely a great place to shower -- but not a great place to hang out. bottom line, it has some potential, but could use some refreshing.
