This is a great neighborhood, esp if you need secure parking and/or like to bike on the canal. Good size apartment. Everything you need. Great value.
Perhaps not for the claustrophobic as it is a basement apt. And there aren't windows in most rooms. But if you are out all day and just need a place to sleep, this shouldn't be a problem. Lucy was very helpful. I enjoyed her Vietnamese coffee packets in the morning or walked a few blocks to Kristina's Cafe and Pastries.
