I did not meet the host in person but I did have great communication with him via the messages here and that was enough for me. Everything was as promised and he gave me a great deal in my mind. We loved the location, close to everything, and not having to worry about going in and out of a hotel or parking. We took Uber around town during the evenings and it was very cheap rides ($3-$5 to Broadway or anywhere). I would stay again simply because it is so nice and really gives you a locales perspective having a house. It also is nice to have a kitchen, laundry, and fenced in back yard at your fingertips. Thank you!
