Great location! Short walk to rail lines made it easy to get to/from the airport, and bikes and street cars made navigating the city super easy. Seemed out of the way enough from most of the tourist areas that you didn't feel overwhelmed with people, but was a short walk/bike ride to everything you would want to do. There was the usual sounds of the city and neighbors, but nothing more than you would expect from an apartment building downtown. Place was modern and comfortable for the two of us. Would definitely stay again!!
