Comfy and Walkable

You will be close to everything when you stay at this comfortable apartment that is close to everything but quiet and friendly. This is my home. I travel a lot and airbnb it when I'm away. It's comfortable, safe, has all the things a lived-in home has, and is in an amazing location. It's like staying at your friend's apartment in the city. If you want luxury, pay more and stay somewhere else... but this is exactly the kind of place I'm looking for when I travel and I hope you'll enjoy it too!
