Walking distance
Salam and Hi.. Can anyone gives me a few examples on how to correctly use 'walking distance' in a sentence. I want to explain that the hotel is near to the mall. But i am not sure the correct way to write it. "in a walking distance to/with", "within a walking distance.....?"
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hi..
1) Don't we need "My house is within a walking distance from here." ?
2) How about these two: My house is in walking distance with the restaurant and My house is in walking distance to the restaurant.

1) Not really. We don't need an 'a' here.
2) Both are wrong. Withing walking distance is an idiom, right?( I'm not sure whether It is)

Nugso is right on both counts.
I would call it an idiom. It's clearly pretty useless as a measure of distance unless you know the walking capabilities of the person you are talking to.
