The Urban was a great place to stay. The neighborhood is a little run down. The Urban appeared to be the only house being updated. However, we had no problems. Apparently, there are taxi drivers and we had one Uber driver to tell us it was a bad neighborhood and to stay in after dark. I don't know that you can do anything about that. Also, the pet friendly thing was a little more of a problem than anticipated for our family members with allergies although the house was very clean and nice. All in all it was a great deal and very convenient to downtown and the convention center.
