Neighborhoods
Your home neighborhood! Cross Street Market is at the heart and less than two blocks away. Charming historic rowhomes and very walkable. Climb up Federal Hill Park for amazing views of the city. From there, you can plan a walking route along the waterfront. Be sure to pass by the American Visionary Art Museum on your way down to the harbor. We know almost all the restaurants in the neighborhood if you ever need a recommendation.
Safety: Minor theft is the most common crime in the neighborhood, especially cell phones. If you're talking on your phone while you walk, considering wearing headphones and keeping your phone in your pocket, or go in a cafe if you need to look at your phone for an extended period of time. We often walk at night (most people in the neighborhood get around primarily walking), but it's always a good idea to stay alert.

Beautiful spot for water views! It gets crowded during the height of summer tourism season. We don't recommend eating here - most of the restaurants are overpriced chains. If you do find yourself hungry while at the harbor, go for one of the classic seafood restaurants like Phillips or Rusty Scupper. Worth a visit: the USS Constellation (you can get a multipass to see all the ships if you're into nautical history), National Aquarium, and Science Center).
Safety: Good, security is well-monitored, though it's a tourist hotspot so always be alert (e.g., don't leave bags unattended or walk around on your cell phone without paying attention to surroundings).

Baltimore at its bougiest! Great spot for an afternoon or evening out if you're feeling fancy - some of the finest fine dining is located here with waterfront views, as well as great walkable shopping that includes both high-end chains and local boutiques. Have a cocktail or two at Bygone on the top floor of the Four Seasons and snap a selfie of yourself a couple dozen stories over the Harbor.
There's a great electric boat rental spot for an afternoon out on the water (you can buy a day-long special boating license from them if you want to be your own captain) - ask us for details!

Check out the Charm City Circulator app and website! The bus is free and you can download the app to check for the next bus (that feature mostly works), check for the nearest stop, and view routes. It goes through the most common spots in the city for visitors and picks up very near to the house.
