Response from VrboOwner on 28 Mar 2020
We are located approximately 3/4 mile from restaurants and grocery stores. Waking may be not be a suitable option if you are carrying groceries or walking with small children. However, the area is very safe and we are directly on a bus route. This family was traveling with an RV and were able to park safely on the street during their stay.
