We loved the location. We ate at quite a few restaurants in the neighborhood and took the train to the big sights in downtown. The parking was not an issue for us. We liked the layout but it should be noted that the basement apartment is accessible from a very heavy door at the back of the house as well as a back door, so parents with small children (mine were 7 and 9 and were fine) might be uncomfortable with that. The steps were also very steep and a little scary. The house was clean and Dian was super on point with communication, very quick to respond!
