I highly recommend Jeff's place! It's clean, private and decorated with great taste. It has a homey and cozy feel. It is not really close to downtown, but the bus stop is nearby and public transportation is efficient. There are also some good restaurants and a very cheap theater in the neighborhood (2 tickets for 4$ on tuesdays!)
Jeff and Katie are great hosts, and it's easy to tell they care about their place. Do not hesitate to book a trip there.
