There were a couple of minor hiccups in the beginning, but the host addressed them quickly. It was cool that we shared a couple of interests: home-brewing and vinyl records. The location is close to downtown, but there's nothing really walkable nearby, such as a coffee shop or grocery store. Maybe I'm spoiled living in super bike friendly Madison, WI., but the immediate area is not conducive to biking(although I saw several that did) with all the one-way streets and parking allowed on both sides of the streets. There is a fine craft brewery, Utepils, located approximately 2 miles away, and the large beer garden has live music and is dog friendly.
