Not the greatest neighbrhood, though it was very convenient to downtown. As an older single woman, it made feel a bit nervous. The renter is new to this, so I think they have a lot to learn before it will go smoothly for everyone. I had to ask about check-in and for a glass or a cup. The room was small, which was fine, but it had HUGE furniture in it, which made it feel cramped. Very comfy mattress though.
