Excellent location in the heard of downtown. All the streets around the apartment are for walking and there are many small specialty shops located throughout the area. Metro is close, train stations are a bit far but reachable by metro if you are carrying bags. Make sure to download an off-line map through google play, it will make life easier because the streets in downtown are difficult to locate. We had the fortune of having good weather, didn't need to wear a jacket on our daily walks. We recommend it.
