If you are looking for a great, affordable place to stay in a quiet, residential neighborhood, stay at John's! He is a great resource for things to do locally. We loved biking in Shelby Bottoms & the area neighborhoods. The location was great for getting downtown, although we found we preferred hiking at Percy Warner Park & Radnor Lake SP & exploring other areas of the city, which were also easily accessible from John's. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the small deck & returned in the evenings to play some cards & snack on popcorn. John provided several drink options, some fruit & some snacks. You do have to walk through John's space before heading upstairs, but there is a locked door at the bottom of the staircase. We felt very comfortable up there after we settled in & it was super quiet & private.
