In a busy neighborhood, but it feels quiet and secluded all the same, thanks to the bamboo “fence” and the shady walkway to the house. No traffic noise. Windows and skylights let in lots of light, even on dreary days. Kitchen quite complete and appliances top notch. Everything worked very well. Good location for restaurants, groceries, parks, etc. Public transportation to downtown is just a few blocks away. We stayed for a week and we’re quite comfortable throughout.
