This place is a stone’s throw away from the station and on the main road to downtown so a trip to anywhere is only a matter of few minutes. Lots of restaurants and shopping malls around this area and at a walking distance from this house but the only downside is the train noise which disturbs at night and specially for kids. Also being on the main road there's a constant rush of traffic or the cop cars on patrol so the noise bothers light sleepers and kids. I didn’t mind the only flight of stairs to the apartment. Washer is in the same floor so washing happens quickly. It's a great place to stay close to downtown but it's a bit noisy if you have small kids.
