Short walk to the strip on Wilton. I felt safe walking the few blocks, even by myself in the evening.
Chetan doesn't mention it, but it's quite convenient to use transit to/from his place, with a bus stop very close. I don't like to drive--especially in an unfamiliar place--so I didn't have a car. I found it easy to get around on transit (with a little help from Google). I had lucky timing on my way to the airport--only 30 minutes and only $4.
