We chose this apartment because it is close to our son's apartment but it was also convenient to a small family-owned grocery store, several restaurants, WholeFoods, and a couple of liquor stores. It was an easy walk to the Shaw Dog Park, National Theater, and Planet Word. The space was clean, secure, comfortable, and well-lit. Two bonus positive features: 1) I asked for extra pots and pans and they were at our doorstep in hours! 2) It was the only Airbnb space I've been in that was well-stocked with Metamucil!
