Overall this lives up to the description. It is conveniently located to Central station, which was great when coming/going to airport. It is about a 30 minute walk to attractions (opera house, etc), so tough to go back and forth during the day but just makes you enjoy a full day out, which is good. The restaurants nearby are Asian cuisine so you'll have to walk or take transport to a different area if want a nice dinner of a different cuisine, but could easily find various options within 20-30 minute walk and felt safe walking in early evening.
