First of all, we are nurses and visited this location from TN. I've stayed in walkable locations before and this location was great. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, bars, dry cleaners, and almost anything else one could need were as little as a 2-5 minute walk from the front door. The subway may seem a little far for some at 1 mile, or fifteen minutes, but this was not a problem for us. The flat is on the fifth floor, first floor being the first floor above the ground, and the stairs are steep. Climbing the stairs can be exhausting if you're not used to strenuous exercise (and I am, and it was still tuff), but the price and benefits certainly out weighed the only down side to accessing the flat. There was great communication on Sarah's part and she left us relevant suggestions that highlighted the benefits of the community. I wouldn't hesitate to go back and stay at this location again. Enjoy!
