Paul's place was in a terrific location. We could walk to SE Hawthorne in just a couple of minutes, and be in the thick of things. We were also only a few minutes from Belmont, and about 15 minutes to Division. All three streets have lots of character, restaurants and bars. Getting downtown by bus and Uber was also a breeze. We happened to have amazing, atypical weather for May (sunny and in the 80's), which made things hotter inside than usual. Since the window A/C units hadn't been installed yet, Paul was quick to compensate us and we were greatly appreciative. He was a very responsive host and the place was clean and spacious. There is a unit above, so noise travels and you can hear the tenants walking around. It never bothered us, but it's something to know if you're sensitive to stuff like that.
