Great space in a really convenient area! Once you get over the surprise of entering the space through an alleyway, the space itself is lovely, clean and very comfortable. Nicholas organised a residents’ permit to allow us to park on the street and it was so easy to find parking. We parked on 9th street as there were always empty spaces there, there were no school zone restrictions and it was easier to get to the alleyway than from 10th street. Being right behind the marine barracks, we also reckoned 9th street was pretty safe, as there were usually marines patrolling the area.
But what really makes this a great space to stay, is the proximity of an eclectic selection of cafes and restaurants in Barrack Row and the Eastern Market area. We loved Mr Henry’s Tavern, the live music there most nights, is excellent. And of course, there’s Eastern Market metro 5 minutes walk away, which whisks you to the Mall in 10-15 minutes.
All in all a great place to stay!
