The apartment is proximate to the beach, which is a big advantage if you would like to go out spontaneously. There is a tram and a bus station to get to the city centre - if needed - in about 30 mins. Otherwise ich takes somewhat more than 1h to get there, which was fine with us. The location is somewhat special and if you are looking for a luxury apartment with a quiet and safe neighborhood, than, it would probably be not suitable for you.
