Overall we had a pleasant stay at the apartment. The place was adequately clean, pleasantly quiet, and functional. When the heating failed to operate the owner responded quickly and guided us through a quick fix. Some parts of the apartment were a bit rougher than would be expected—some of it due to inferior remodeling and some just negligent maintenance. Still, it was cozy and comfortable if you don't have too high of expectations. Although free parking was (as noted) available along nearby streets, open spaces could be difficult to secure and often required considerable roaming to locate a place to park. I'd suggest parking the car and using public transportation. The closest bus stop is less than a five-minute walk away. There are plenty of restaurants in the area along with a large grocery store just two short blocks away.
