Shera and Andrew are great hosts! They were very friendly and gave good hints where to go. They have a beautiful home and I felt very welcome.
The area is calm but it is a very nice neighborhood to walk through. Streets with very great places to eat are about 30 min on foot or 5 min by car (Hawthorne st and Division st).
With the bus it's easy 25 min and 2.5$ to downtown.
I had to leave very early in the morning. Shera prepared a take-away breakfast so I had something to eat on my way. That saved me from starving ;)
