You will not want to leave this little cottage, rain or shine! When we pulled up and saw the apartment buildings nearby, we thought, "uh oh" noisy. Not at all! The area is quiet and pleasant. Walk the neighborhood if you have a chance. The gardens are beautiful and the houses charming. Sit on the porch in the rocking chairs and wave to neighbors or talk to the mailman walking by or just read a book. Then there is the deck in the back with beautifully planted flower pots and lights at night. Another charming reading space is in the kitchen nook with skylights. You cannot go wrong with Linda's place. My husband walked to the convention center for a conference and Bush Park is walking distance.
