The place was quiet, and I mean quiet. It backs up on the ally behind the house and therefore zero traffic. The bed was extremely comfortable with great firm pillows. Everything was of premium quality. The washer and dryer in the unit were huge, quite a surprise.
From the ally it was a quick two blocks to a great grocery Sprouts which is an all natural organic store. The area is safe and very walk-able. Across the main road is 17 Ave blvd. which goes for 10 to 15 tree lined blocks in between the one way blvd.
