The host made sure to communicate just enough for us to know what to expect without being intrusive or annoying. The listing was accurate - it looks bigger in the photos (wide angle lenses will do that) but there's more than enough room to unpack and stretch out. The shower was especially spotless, and the heating unit had the place warm in no time.

The neighborhood wasn't great, but the street was scattered with old and brand new places. This place has bright flood lights out by the parking spot, and the gated fence. Both the gated fence and front door to the place were well locked, so although the neighborhood could have been better, I never felt unsafe at all.

Would definitely stay again. Thanks for a great first airbnb stay!
