We did not have a car this trip and did a lot of walking sightseeing. The apartment is in a great location for checking out Colfax Ave. or downtown or even further afield if you do a lot of walking. We took in the Botanic Gardens at Cheesman Park and the nesting Cormorants at City Park.
It's not a million dollar view, but the balcony has a very decent view of downtown and was one of our favorite places to drink coffee in the morning or some wine in the evening. The location is also relatively quiet for being so close to everything.
