Never been to this part of the city before--the views from the roof are incredible--the city skyline, no major obstructions. It was conflicting though, because while there was plenty of new construction going on, within a block or two there were houses with bars on the windows. Still, never felt unsafe walking around.
The house was impeccably clean--but be prepared for a lot of stairs! Good size garage fit two Toyota Highlanders, barely, but it worked.
It's prob the norm for rentals these days, but the kitchen is sparse. I suspect this is because people steal stuff. If you love to cook, you'll want to bring a few items--casserole dishes, extra baking sheets, foil, oil, spices, salt, etc. Don't need coffee mugs (there are 15 of them :) :)
We happened to arrive a day after a major cold snap, and one of the heating systems froze over. The host was SUPER responsive, and had a tech out within 1 1/2 hrs to work it, and we were set for the night.
