Mary’s place was very clean, neat and well-organized. By organized I mean that Mary provided little notes about where to find sheets, how to work the TV, and a binder full of other tips on the Airbnb, transportation, places to see and eat, and things to do. She is literally steps from the Washington Park Trails that take you to the Rose Garden (with over 600 varieties of roses) and a beautiful Japanese Tea Garden.
Most of our time there we used public transportation. We walked the 12 minutes to the 20 bus stop which will take you all the way downtown. A day pass only costs you $5. On my last day there I took the 63 bus to the red line Max train to get to the airport which only cost me $2.50 instead of the $22 I paid for with Lyft from the airport.
