We enjoyed our stay in Germantown. Whilst a little way from downtown Ubers were plentiful and inexpensive. Probably walkable but could mean negotiating some major roads. The house itself was large and well appointed; ideal for a family group. Due to our short stay we didn't get to check-out the immediate area but seemed quiet and friendly enough. If venturing downtown Broadway seems to be the focal point. Almost every venue offers live music; the quality varies so shop around before settling down for a beer or a meal.
