Isabelle's place is exactly as advertised. The location between Davis & Porter Sq made access to the Red Line and good restaurants superb. Traveling by myself, I do always consider security. I felt very safe walking in the area. On a late evening arrival, Isabelle had left the lights on so I was walking into a bright and welcoming area, which was a nice touch after a long day. I was a little concerned about how much I would hear above me as this is a basement unit. The owners are either very quiet or have worked to reduce the noise. There were only a few times where I noticed my upstairs neighbors. I will look to stay here again, no question.
