I'll dwell in the description to contribute travelers express my feelings about the city beyond accommodation.
The description of the announcement is perfect, the neighborhood is well located, quiet and well residential. I used public transport for 2 days and 5 days used a rented bike, which was perfect, the city is really bike friendly. I recommend renting at Everybody's Bike Rentals, NE near the Alberta ST.
There is a large supermarket there are 3 blocks from the house, unfortunately not a Whole Foods, but you can stock up with more things organic and local suppliers, and a lot of variety of beer !!!
Bath linens and bed were great. I am extremely allergic and had no problem, because the house has nothing to moisture and mildew and have really cool clarity, even though a basement.
Sound of footsteps in the main house floor is very clear, happens at peak times during weekdays, between 7:00 and 8:00 AM and at night from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, outside these periods I did not hear movement in the house. Over the weekend times are different, after all, you hear the movement of home to me was not a problem since I was very little time in the house besides the hours of sleep and some days during my stop at the end of the day before the night out, bathed hearing someone playing guitar, cool sound !!
With the host, unfortunately I had no personal contact only by e-mail and text, sometimes takes about 02 days to give feedback because he told me hasn't mobile signal at the mountains, but he was always very helpful and easy going, authorized me to enter the house before the check in time to leave my bags.
As for the city, if you have any doubts about your destination, you can forget, the city is amazing, extremely eclectic, I was in the five city areas with well-defined vibes, downtown super organized, beautiful, cool; through the incredible university neighborhood and bay area at southwest; the charm of 23rd Street and hills in the northwest ; the incredible Alberta St whit his artistic vibe in the northeast and the hipster world in the southeast.
Read about the city all they can and please do like me, a daily service to the best breweries have ever been !!!
Thank you Matt for hosting and congratulations on your wonderful city and so nice people !!. ahhh just in time, Bo, the only family member I met, his is very cute, even took a picture with him and if I come back next year for the festival, let's have a beer !!
