I was traveling alone & wanted a place that was in the midst of activity & allowed me to walk to most every destination. This apartment fit the bill in terms of location, but was also very comfortable & bright. The shower had very hot water & good pressure. And possibly more important for the women - a very good hairdryer. If you're looking for quiet serenity, this is not your place as it has bars, etc. nearby. However, I spent 5 nights there & i felt like a local - it felt like home.
