This was a good location for visiting the Fringe Festival. It's like a 15 or 20 minute walk to where a lot of the shows were taking place. And the place is in a quiet, nice neighborhood with good shops and places to get a drink. Additionally, there's a great bakery right around the corner (Archipelago). We went there almost every day. Also, it's walking distance to a public pool and a big park (right by the arboretum) that was good for getting in a workout.
