The house is in a very quiet and safe neighborhood, but it is only 3-4 blocks to bustling night life, restaurants and shopping in several directions. And super close to a pedestrian / bike trail that goes to many parks. I had a lovely walk each evening. There are great views of the city skyline and a beautiful church especially at night from the top floor! There were toys and game for my 8 yr old and even a piano so she could practice her songs (unexpected surprise!). Be advised that if you have trouble climbing stairs this may not be the place for you. There are many spiral staircases to climb. However it is SO worth the view.... and to not have people above you making noise. Thanks for letting my family and our pups enjoy your place! We will be back.
