The location was perfect! it was just off the beaten path of tourist and the city which made it quiet, backed up to a nice park for us, was well separated in terms of areas of the apartment so the kids had their own spot when needed. It was VERY secure. outer doors and apt doors... even has security guards there as well. There is a starbucks and grocery store in the building section which was so nice to have! We would rent this over and over for business and family time away.
