The apartment is close to good food, coffee a small healthy supermarket and an asian grocer. It is close enough to downtown a 30 min walk but not in the thick of it. The views on both sides are great and I love the big windows that open and the small balcony. I love being able to chromecast. It was super comfy. I came fairly unprepared for check in and I was never made to feel like a jerk about that which I appreciated. Super friendly people involved. The stairs are no joke, I appreciated that someone was there at check in and helped me with my huge and heavy suitcase.
