This stay is in a great neighborhood. Kensington is immensely walkable. As I was traveling without a car, it was great to walk to coffee, groceries, and restaurants. It's not near the beach or downtown, but it is near my family, so it was great to be close but on my own. The stairs to the loft are a bit steep, so be ready for that. The kitchen had everything I needed, including a bullet blender to make smoothes, which made me super happy.
