At first it felt as though we were pretty far from the highlights of the city. In retrospect, it was the perfect area to come home to after dealing with the crowds of downtown. Plenty of low key restaurants right around the corner. There was a metro line station about 5 minutes away, and bus and street car stops even closer. Not a super luxurious accommodation, but well worth every penny, especially if you plan on spending your days exploring the city on foot.
