I stayed in John & Christina's place for one week and I felt very comfortable in their small cottage. It was nice and clean, bathroom included. The cooking area also included mugs,dishes and all the necessary, which I found very convenient. The outiside was very cosy and perfect for having breakfast in the morning. I was there alone, but the area is very quite and safe. I was using the public transport everyday and the bus stop is just 5-10 min walk away. I was able to reach downtown in about 15 min...for sure having a car would make everything much easier...The surrounding area of Northpark offers several restaurants and bars. Finally John and Christina were very nice, welcoming and always available to help! I would definitely raccomend this place!
