Tucked in a side street and opposite the beautiful and heavily treed Fairview park make it secluded and quiet, but it's also about 30 metres away from two small supermarkets, a couple of restaurants/pubs/takeaway shops, and the bus stop for all the buses going to/from Connelly Station from the north, so it's very handy to get places and do things. If you're a walker like me, it's only 20-30 minutes to the CBD/Temple Bar and 40-50 minutes to the main museums like Trinity College and the National Natural History and National Archaeology museums.
