We enjoyed staying in Amanda's place for a week. The location can't be beat. I was able to walk to the conference center each day (picking up coffee at The Well Coffeehouse on the way). It was quick and easy to walk back to the Airbnb late at night after the event's parties and other activities.
Parking, overall, is a huge expensive pain. Plan to spend an extra $45+ per day just to park your vehicle. Several decks nearby offer $15/night, but they charge an extra $20 on top of that if you're not out by 6AM. We had the best experience in the "Ozari lot" immediately next to the building to the north. The lot was never totally full, even on busy playoff days. Pricing there varies a lot (seriously, if you check the machine 5 minutes later the prices and times available will be different!) but you can usually get a 24 hr pass for ~$45.
