The location is very central to all the tourists spots that we went to. Didn't try the public transportation since we had a rental car but did use Lyft on one of the days we were there. Concerns were addressed and answered very quickly by host. The place was also very cleaned and well maintained with all the amenities needed. We didn't really use the pay it forward pantry but thought it is a great idea. I will say there is quite a bit of street noise even at night though. Probably because of where it is located. Not a big deal we still had a good time, just not what we are used to coming from living in a quiet suburb.
