We, a couple of 66 and 56 had a nice time in the apartement although we missed a microwave and a toaster. It is a nice and quiet area and with 2 supermarkets very close. There are 2 nice restaurants close by as well. The subway is 10 min. walk away. But you can walk to town (5 km). One day we walked through little Italy, Kensington to China town which was a nice walk of 4 km. And this walk is recommended. Sidney answers quickly and is helpful with our questions.
