I couldn't have had a better first experience with Airbnb, Angel was friendly and welcoming, and her house is simply gorgeous. The area feels very safe (very residential with a middle school across the road) and despite not having a car, I was able to get around easily using local buses (the no. 2 stop is opposite an amazing pizza place 4 mins away) or walking up East 11th or East 6th to downtown (20mins max). As with most cities, the east side is hipster town with loads of cool cafes/trailers/shops. As I was travelling alone, it was incredibly helpful to have someone as nice as Angel answer all my questions about the area. I cannot recommend her place and her hospitality highly enough!
