'We've loved our time at 5 Washington Avenue. We love that on a weekend morning we can pop to the local shops for freshly baked bread, pastries, coffee, or to one of the fantastic nearby cafes. The Greenbank also does a great Sunday Roast with a friendly atmosphere and has lots of events. We're regulars at the monthly comedy night. For us having a cat, the community feel of the street has been great - there's always someone willing to help feed if we're away and we return the favour.'
