Our family enjoyed the location. We didn't want to be in a tourist area, and this spot was more local, but you could walk to the Crystal Palace gardens in less than 10 minutes, and you could walk into the old downtown area in less than 10 minutes. The river area was a farther walk, but not bad, at least downhill .On the way back from the river it's all uphill, but you can take an Uber for around 5 EUR and can typically get to any of the historic areas by Uber for less than 5 EUR. It's on the very top floor so you have nice views and 2 small balconies, but it can get very, very hot when the temperature is above 80 degrees F, so be sure to request fans. Our original fan broke one evening, but Ana had a new fan waiting for us by the next morning.
