Dont let the area deter you because this building is so cute. Becareful when youre driving because you can never find any street parking which is why the parking in the back was convenient. Finding the parking was a little tricky in the alley but we got used to it. The bedroom is so cute and the kitchens are very convenient. The walls are sort of thin so you can hear some of the neighbors upstairs but overall it was a really great stay.
