Location is great. Views of canal and mountains are awesome in morning and at night. Lookup Don Quixote store if you need more than what ABC stores can offer (we needed Lactose free milk and that was good source for it). Plenty of places to eat nearby. Convention center is 15 min easy walk and this is why we chose this place. Bring an umbrella, Eric and Purnima also have one in the apartment. the 4th floor Washers are great, dryers in the laundry room are old and take forever to dry clothes.
