We were glad to find a place near our son's apartment, an area with few places to stay. We spent Christmas with his family and were able to walk back and forth. We were there during the bitter cold and howling winds of the "bomb cyclone," and Jackpaul's townhouse was nice and warm. Street parking was difficult during the holiday weekend - nobody moved their cars! - so we mostly left our car sitting and walked. It's a perfectly safe neighborhood for walking, with an Aldi's around the corner and all the Indian/Pakistani restaurants and shops nearby. The kitchen has a Keurig coffeemaker with plenty of supplies, but, as a previous reviewer noted, not a lot of cooking equipment. If you plan to do more than basic reheating, bring your own tools. There's a fenced outdoor area for warmer days. As long as our son lives nearby, we'll be back.
