This location was perfect for us, being close to our children's house, but it is rather far from downtown to walk. However, it is very close to Wickenden, which has many and varied restaurants, antique shops and salons. The house does not have a house number, so tell the cab driver that it is the house on the corner of Brook and Armstrong and that the back entry is on Armstrong. It looks run down from the outside, but is very nicely remodeled inside, as you can tell from the pictures. The remodel means that many of the descriptions of where things are are no longer valid. There is no cabinet next to the refrigerator, for example. So just look around until you find things. The master bedroom has a queen size comforter in a king size cover, which means that the comforter sometimes works its way to one side of the bed, leaving the other side with nothing but the cover. Pots and pans abound, but no non-stick pans. We could not find any potholders or trivets to put hot pans on, so had to serve ourselves from the stove, or use hand towels. Only two of each plate and bowl made it necessary to wash dishes after every meal. Very good appliances. keypad entry makes it very secure and even though the neighborhood looks a bit seedy, we never felt afraid to walk even at night. We would stay there again for family reasons, but would not choose it if city entertainment were the goal.
