My sister and I enjoyed our stay at Rick's place. The room was very clean and nicely decorate. Rick was very welcoming and polite. He even put some waters and soda in the wet bar for us. The room was very much like a nice hotel room with shampoo and condition and soap and a hair dryer. The house is located in an up and coming neighbor next to a farmers market, park, and close to a few restaurants. We walked to dinner the first night since it was a half mile way but were advice to take a taxi on the way back. We didn't have any issues walking there, however, there were pan handles and people hanging out at an abandon gas station. During the day time we felt totally safe walking around the neighborhood though. We even walked downtown from the house which was about a mile walk. There is a free bus located by the farmers market to which we used on the way back to the house. I believe it was the blue line. Being a very cautious person about my surroundings and environment, I have no problem suggesting this place. The only slight down side is that the walls of the house are thin so we could hear the person next to us closing their cabinets or talking in the hallway, which is to be expected in a house.
