Exactly as described. The location was perfect for walking around town. We saw all the touristy places that are withing reach, albeit a long reach. Walking tours and city center are within 15 minute walk. Other places are a bit further afield, but still perfectly reachable. There is a bike rental place around the corner, to make your access even easier. Definitely kid friendly! We stayed there with our 1yo, who had a great time.
