Miegan was very responsive and gave us great tips for places to check out as well as restaurants, and the ones we tried were all great, especially the restaurant Flour + Water. Honestly, one of the best meals I've eaten in a while, and only about a 20 minute walk from Miegan's place! The house is within walking distance of a few different bus stops, but we didn't feel as comfortable walking from all of the bus stops after dark and opted to take an Uber at night.
The house itself was lovely. It's an older building, very charming, and had everything we needed - the only thing we were missing was a coffee pot! But we were able to walk down to Precita Park Cafe in the mornings for coffee, only about an 8 minute walk. The apartment is downstairs, and there's definitely some kids living upstairs. It didn't bother us, but I guess just be aware that you will be able to hear some little feet stomping around.
All in all a great trip and I would definitely stay here again!
