This was my first Air BnB experience, and when I checked in, my daughter, who's been around the Air BnB block a couple times, said that this was not the normal Air BnB set up. But it was exactly what Evan describes it to be, and I was both familiar and comfortable with the combination of hostel and traditional B&B hospitality that he provides: comfortable common areas, access to a great kitchen, private room, and shared bath in a house that has a distinct character.
1234 House was definitely the best value for accommodations in the area, where I was visiting my daughter. There are shops and restaurants within walking distance, but it's largely within a residential area. I felt comfortable and safe.
Evan greeted me when I arrived at about 10 PM and showed me the house and my room, and he was generally available if I had questions.
Two words of advice to Evan though: kitchen fan. The night I arrived, someone had been cooking fish, and the smell was strong. Another night, someone made something that was heavily garlicked. I didn't mind the day someone baked bread: that was pleasant. But one night there was a bean soup (over)cooking overnight and the smell was thick and eventually unpleasant.
