The area is very nice, close to a park. The nearest market that we could find was a CVS pharmacy about 1/2 mile away. A short walk away is a Jimmy T's restaurant, good for breakfast. This is a basement apartment and in some places the ceiling is less than 6 feet tall. I'm 6' 4" tall and smacked my head a few times on the beams and dinning area. There was a dog above us that we could hear running around at times. There was also some howling and barking. The bathroom and shower are very nice.
