Bed was comfortable and perfect after a long day of walking. It was a cute loft and felt like a home away from home. Grocery and pharmacy were close. Public transporation was very convenient. I traveled by Uber, bus, and train while there. 49 bus is only a 2 minute walk and blue line was a 14 minute walk down the street. I felt safe. Be as cautious as you would in any big city but everyone I encountered in the neighborhood were very friendly.
