The property is in an aged but well kept row house. The neighborhood is urban, so it is close to the "L" train (literally a block away) but there are the things you might associate with urban neighborhoods (small yard, densely populated, graffiti, train noise, garbage in the streets). It was perfect for our needs as a family if 7 that wanted an affordable, comfortable and clean place to crash after seeing museums all day. In the mornings a stray cat or two would be on the back deck looking into the sliding glass door, which delighted my kids. Neighbors we encountered on our walks to and from the train were friendly. There was a miscommunication upon arrival with the code to get into the property, but Joyce was very apologetic and offered us a couple extra hours if we needed it for check out on our last morning. Beds were comfortable. We were able to lock our car behind a gate and the house was secure. The space is bright and fun. Kitchen had what we needed to cook our meals. If you are comfortable in an urban neighborhood setting and want to experience the city more like a resident than a tourist, this is a great option!
