Not quite in the heart of the city, this area is much more laid-back, has much fewer tourists and has a very relaxed residential feel to it. It's super close to the more popular restaurant and nightlife areas of the city but has it's own collection of places to hang out as well. I've been here for 5 months and to me, the combination of lower rent, quieter neighborhood and walkability to other parts of the city makes it perfect for living.
