Beautiful and safe

I was looking for a place to stay close to Cutright Park and couldn't have found a nicer apartment or location. We felt really safe as the Bacon Building is right across the street from the police station. Our apartment was very nice, a beautiful mix of historic and modern. We didn't have time to explore the historic downtown but will do so in the future.
