This is a central location that makes for easy access to downtown/Pearl as well as all of the fun neighborhoods on the east side of the river. Good restaurants and coffee houses / bakeries within 3 to 12 blocks, depending what you want. Easily walkable. Good biking neighborhood too. Quiet street. You can walk around and enjoy the neighborhood's beautiful old homes and gardens, especially heading north and east from this location. At Holly's you have your own studio upstairs in a building where there are two full-time apartment rentals. People in both units were nice and considerate, and I only saw them once in 10 days. Oh, I never had trouble finding a parking place either!
