The Burlington itself is terrific. Well appointed commercial kitchen (although they need a bottle opener, ice cube trays and a baking sheet!). The walls are thin but the neighbors were all respectful and courteous. We were there for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve and the predominantly hispanic residents in the area love to celebrate with fireworks, which made us feel right at home since we live in Washington Heights, New York City. The surrounding area is a mixed bag — there are national chain stores nearby (Rite Aid, Home Depot) as well as grocery stores, but there is also a large presence of un-housed folks near MacArthur Park and that milieu permeates the main drag (6th Street) at the end of Burlington. It didn’t feel safe to be on foot out in the streets at night. The parking area behind the Burlington does feel safe, however, and the building itself is well secured. The lemon tree in the front yard was ripening during our 3 weeks there in December which was a nice surprise!
