Alix's place is the perfect "getaway" from the city without actually leaving the city. Within 30 minutes walking you can reach the lakeside, and about 20 to the cliffside parks, and about 5 to some local parks. The area is very green, full of parks and has all the amenities you need. Alix is a very caring and genuine host who makes people feel welcomed into her home. I can't recommend this place enough!
