Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 16 Jul 2006 rated 10 out of 10.
The location and price are superb. Two easy blocks from downtown which is where the local restaurants (as opposed to chains) and shops are located. The book store was fascinating; the proprietor knowledgeable and helpful. The only problem we ran into was that everything closed down on Sunday and no shops were open after 5:30 on weekdays (restaurants were).
Positives: Everyone in the office was very pleasant and helpful. Being in a wheelchair, that is important.
Negatives: I'd like a walk-in shower with seat instead of a tub.
