We loved the location of the apartment. Right in the middle of the action. Very close to lots of great bars and restaurants. Also very close to the ferry or subway to the city. It was very easy to find parking when we got there on a Friday afternoon. Sidiq was a great host and offered many suggestions for bars and food. If you’re looking for peace and quiet this isn’t the location for you.... at night the streets are almost mardi gras like and we enjoyed being part of the crowd and also watching from the balcony. It has a locked entrance to the building and we felt very safe.
