It was in a nice neighborhood. Mostly quiet. Transportation was very good, almost at the front door. Good grocery stores and restaurants are close by. The apartment has everything I needed --- nice complete kitchen and bathroom. Love the shoe-off policy. It just happened that the housemate I had then was also very nice. Too bad Tom and Pom was away all the time I was there, but Tom did call to check on me which was appreciated. The only problem I had was lugging my heavy suitcase up and down the stairs to and from 4th floor as there is no elevator. I highly recommend the place!
