The neighborhood was nice and felt like a safe place to walk at night. Good restaurants are close by. The parking on the street is free, but only if you get a permit from the police station. Otherwise there is a two hour parking limit. However when I mentioned that to James he ensured his neighbor got a permit for us when we got there. My only slightly inconvenient experience is that the neighbors had a loud party up stairs on the weekend nights. If you are sensitive to noise, this may be slightly irritating. Otherwise a good experience and would recommend it to others.
