Location- this is a nice location away from all the touristy areas. It's a nice residential area, with restaurants and thrift shops on the next block. Both trains are located about 10 mins away. There are multiple grocery stores and a nearby park. There's also a great Vietnamese place called Kim's Ha that I would highly recommend and a charming French cafe called Crepala.
Apartment- everything was described accurately. However, the apartment is pretty dark even with all the lights on. Also, if you open the windows, a lot of bugs will fly in because the apartment is near the dumpster. We had to leave the windows closed and it was pretty stuffy. We were pleased that there was a smart TV so we were able to use Netflix and watch movies.
