This is simply a comfortable well-appointed place close to everything that you might need. My conference was downtown. It was easily walkable. Taxi/Uber/Lyft probably $7-10 with tip. Restaurants are close and they are good. A gourmet deli/market is 2 block away and Safeway is 5-6 blocks. The balcony rocks. The kitchen works if you want to cook. There is a coffee maker and all the other stuff that you would need. Good, young neighborhood. So much better than being hermetically sealed behind windows that do not open in a downtown hotel.
