This apartment is in a great area for eating out and entertainment. Just walk out the door and there are groceries and restaurants galore. It is a very active area until midnight or so. The apartment was a bit smaller than we expected from the pictures. Space for cooking or eating was very limited, and the shower had nice fixtures but it was hard to squeeze into. Even though it was smaller than expected, it was still a good value for the area. Melvin was very accomodating, quick to respond to communications and had a handy place to store our luggage without charge after we checked out.
