Margo, her dear old furry kitty bundle, Daisy, and the Artisan Sanctuary were a delight. The apartment is very spacious and cozy. I especially loved the many interesting and well-placed light fittings, the great assortment of books, and all the thoughtful touches in place to ensure a very pleasant time.
Staying in winter, and at a conference throughout the day, meant I didn't do a lot of exploring in the neighborhood on foot. However within just a few minutes drive I discovered the culinary delights of Pok Pok Noi on Prescott, Lardo on Williams, and for everything else and more - Whole Foods just off Fremont. Also, if you're inclined to do more than eat, just a few blocks up the street, on the corner of MLK Blvd and Alberta is a great little gym - $10 drop in, but if you say you'd like to check it out, you might be lucky and get a free 3-day pass!
