Great location and is so close to the mall ride, union station, and restaurants, grocery stores, and parks within walking distance. The mall ride is just over the bridge outside of the building so all of 16th Street is within easy access. The train is right outside the window and while the light rail doesn't make much noise at all, the heavy rail that goes by can be noticeable. There are a couple of while noise machines that sound like fans that help a bit. The place was fully stocked with toiletries but there is a Whole Foods right around the corner from the mall ride pick up if there's anything particular you need. There is a B-Cycle stall at the park outside of the building which can also be used to get around if you have a B-Cycle pass or daypass.
