This place was just as described.We like walking so we found it convenient for getting to a lot of downtown locations. Check in was easy and the host was responsive and accomodating. Having plenty of free parking was also nice. There is currently quite a bit of construction on 1st avenue, and this area is a bit off the beaten path. We found it fine but if safety and security are a big issue for you, or if you are travelling alone, this might not be the best choice.
