PRIME location near EVERYTHING!

prime locationconvenient walkplentiful restaurants
I walked from the main train station to this great place. It was only five minutes. I discovered SO many restaurants just a short walk away (this was a HUGE bonus!). The location is seriously awesome.
The building is older so a few things are not modern, though it gives it character.
