Rick's house is fantastic - plenty of room, very nicely decorated, scrupulously clean and tidy. Rick himself was super-responsive, always returned calls/emails/sms within minutes if not seconds. We arrived a little early because of confusion re time zones on our part and he was accommodating in letting us check in early. The neighbourhood is what I would call "up and coming" - still a few older type properties in the area but the little pocket around Rick's place is quite cool. There's a large Kroger's (supermarket) about 2 minutes drive away and cab fare into downtown is less than 10 bucks on the meter.
All up we had a great stay and would not hesitate in recommending Rick's place to all and sundry.
