Lauren's place is a great price for the location. It's a bit of a walk to everything but with good weather which we had its not bad. Took us about 20-25 minutes to get to the center of the mall. However, Uber or Lyft is everywhere so if you are not a walker its a short $10-$15 ride anywhere you wanna go basically. There were also 2 metro stops within a few minutes walk but we opted for walking or Uber/Lyft most of the trip.
