From the minute we got to the house, we were greeted by the homeowner's mother who lives next door and handed off the keys. This house served as a great home base for 6 of us who were visiting for a friend's wedding. It was within walking distance of a grocery store, park and plenty of coffee shops and restaurants on Alberta Street. We primarily used bikes and rental cars to get around town so I can't speak to public transportation from the house, but we found it conveniently located to all we needed.
