I read some of the reviews here before our trip and started to get nervous about the neighborhood. I’m just here to say do NOT worry about the neighborhood! We felt comfortable walking to a coffee shop around the corner- The Jam Coffee House (the Local Buzz coffee was delicious, the scene was very college). There are brand new modern homes mixed in with older homes. We saw people walking their dogs, playing in their yards, etc. We felt close to everything but not too close that it was insanely crowded (All of our Uber/Lyft rides were ~ $8). There was quite a bit of construction going on in the area, but we couldn’t hear it from inside the appartment. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again!
