This place was perfect for our girl’s weekend with my bestie! So clean and pretty! Walkable to most everything you need within a few blocks but on a quiet street. Close to trolley stops that we used to go further. No need for a rental car. Just Uber to and from airport. The host was very sweet and helpful with answering all of our questions about the area. Will definitely return!
