Susan's place is in such a great location - it's 1 street behind Fig which is such a walkable spot - we enjoyed exploring the many cool spots in Highland Park. The room itself is actually really large, and with lots of light, a ceiling fan, very nice central heating and a roomy kitchen. Comfy bed! Bathroom was nice and clean too!
Susan was very good to deal with and friendly but also left us to do our thing. She was helpful with local tips.
There's a food 4 less which is a decent walk from Susan's place, and the train station is about 5 mins walk....
Local highlights were the Triple Beam Pizza place, Otono (tapas), Highland Park Bowl, and great vinyl stores and vintage.
