Good communication with owner (but not too much). Perfect balance. Easy entry. Quiet neighbourhood with some cute, smaller places to eat or have a drink. Convenient location to get to 'louder' downtown activities in 10 minutes or so, like theatre district, especially with street car dropoff right in front of place. Factor into your budget no parking with unit and day lot two blocks over is $25/day, and street parking is tough to find spots. Only drawback.
