Apartment was located in a charming neighborhood, within walking distance of commuter trains, subway and buses. Grocery stores, bakery, restaurants, pharmacy, 7/11 are also close by. We were there the second week of September through the first week of October so there was no need for air-conditioner. However, if I was there during the summer months, I would be concerned about that since the apartment isn't air conditioned. But they did have a fan. But overall it was a great experience and we stay here again.
