This is a great location, right by everything and you can easily walk everywhere. We unfortunately came the 1 day a year that there is no parking in the city (parking in the city would have been really hard to do with the small streets anyway). Metro was easy if you have luggage with wheels and your maps will tell you what trains to take to get to the city. We didn’t mind the noise of outside crowds looking at Manneken Pis, the place also has shades you can pull down so it’s nice and dark for sleeping.
