I highly recommend this Airbnb if you are attending a conference. It is only a couple of blocks from the convention center and is nicer and more affordable than conference hotels.
Be aware the room does not have curtains. Due to the parking lot lights it is bright in the room at all hours so I recommend bringing a sleep mask if this is something that will bother you.
I was also surprised at how early all downtown retail closed. For example Target, Walgreens and CVS all close at 6pm everyday. If you need something plan to get it early.
