Watch out for

• Street condition has been described in local reporting as poor, so expect a worn-in environment rather than a polished one.
• It is a residential inner-city street area, so amenities may be limited immediately on the street itself.
• Noise and activity can vary because it sits within a larger urban district rather than a self-contained quiet enclave.
