I had a fantastic visit. I wish I would have reached out for local recommendations, but there were a lot of shops, restaurants, and corner stores close by. Overall safe neighborhood. My friend wasn't able to come so I was by myself and I never felt unsafe.
I also didn't realize how close to the park it was. I was spending nights out and sleeping during the day and the kids were very loud. However, that did not have a negative affect on my trip. Maybe just a detail to add for the future :)
