Blake is absolutely lovely, very welcoming and happy to chat and share local information. Her home is wonderful with lovely big and comfy beds and very clean throughout. You can walk to downtown in about 20mins via Bicentennial Park and the Farmers market. The house is just north of downtown and you can get the hop on/off buses from the Farmers Market and there is also a free city bus nearby. Blake's home is in a really good location and trendy neighbourhood. I highly recommend staying here.
