Close to downtown and within walking distance of stores & restaurants. Seemed like a safe and quiet neighborhood for the most part. The house next door may be a rental as well because there was a party there most nights and while we were warned in our rental agreement to be quiet after 10:00 pm or the police may be called, this didn't seem to be the case for that house. The kitchen had most of what you would need to cook full meals, which we did a lot of the time. Overall, the house met our needs perfectly and we would recommend it to others.
