"Excellent location! Lots of restaurants within walking distance, and a conveniently located train station nearby. Apartment was cozy, well-stocked, and perfect for 2 people. Street parking was doable (visitor parking permit provided) but there’s also a parking garage nearby. Ken was very responsive and available through messages. "
