We thought the location was great and easy to get around to the sights we wanted to see. The area felt very safe especially since the Police were only 2 doors down.
The only negative was it was quite noisy but that is NOT a commentary on her space. It has been 5 years since I last visited and I forgot about the Spanish just heading out for the evening around 9 pm and stay out late.
But the location of the flat was wonderful!
