This place is about 15 minutes (30 minutes during rush hour) from the mall. The area is very busy and the house is on a main street. You will have to find street parking on a side street nearby. Not a big deal, but you may have to walk a bit. The house is very large and spacious. The beds are extremely comfortable. The kitchen is sparsely stocked so bring any foods/seasonings/coffee you may need. Check in and check out is very easy. The family on the 3rd floor (above this apartment) is very loud and you will hear them. All in all, this is a great place to stay.
