This rental is not necessarily in an area in the city I normally stay in- more RIver North, but it was easy enough to get to most places in a 10-20 min walk depending on where you were going. If you are not familiar with the city though, you should look at a map before you book so you understand the location. Also, If you are not used to the city, you do need to prepare for the noise the train runs pretty much right by your window. I did have to work while I was there, and the wi-fi was solid, but also the common areas in the complex were great. There were plenty of places with great views to work in quiet. I also used the workout area. Overall, I thought the rental was great to meet my needs on this trip. I thought it was great value, especially for 3 bedrooms and my group of 6. I would recommend this rental.
