Johnny's place is very convenient to downtown and the Gastown district. The place is far enough from the street that you don't hear any traffic. The place is small but efficient, and worked for me and my wife. The Murphy bed is not the softest bed we've slept on, but we walked around the city enough that falling asleep wasn't a problem. The one issue I had is that, if walking to the Gastown district or downtown, you'll pass through Chinatown which has lots of homeless people in a shady looking area and may make you feel uncomfortable. We are city people (of Baltimore) and my wife was uncomfortable while I was "alert". However, Johnny's place was the only one in our price range that was within walking distance of the places we wanted to see, so it's a good value in that respect. I also appreciated a stocked kitchen that included coffee and helpful area recommendations.
