The apartment is in a good, central location. We did not need to drive anywhere although we took Uber's to other places we wanted to see. There is a convenience store located in the building and there is also a small grocery store a 2 minute walk away if you need to buy produce, meats, and basic groceries. The only down part of our stay was the construction across the street. I wish we had been warned about that. If you are staying there on a weekday, be prepared to be awakened at 6:45AM and have non stop noise until around 5PM. The construction noise is LOUD and there is no way to block it out. If you are staying on a weekend or holiday, you should be fine.
