Location was great for our trip, with good access to uptown and downtown streetcar lines. Very walkable, which was perfect as we did not rent a car. Good restaurants nearby, too. City Park was a highlight - lots to do and see there with a stunning sculpture garden. Be aware that you are in the city, and reminders of social inequities abound, but we did not experience any problems. For the most part, everyone we encountered was friendly and gracious.
