What surprised me about 1128 Elysian Fields was how beautifully it was renovated. It has the beautiful original charm, ceilings at least 12 feet high, gorgeous construction, the decorative mantles from four old fireplaces; yet all the modern conveniences you could want, including a great kitchen and bath, cable T.V. It's all on one level, no stairs inside. A neighborhood with character, reminds me of the East Village back here in good ol' NYC. 100 steps away from a big Walgreens, food, and a street car line. It was perfect for me and my three teen girls, we felt safe and loved staying there.
