The property is located 8.6 km from Estadio Rommel Fernandez, 9.1 km from Rod Carew National Stadium and 11 km from Bridge of the Americas.

The location was surrounded by high-rise buildings and felt safe. However, it is not suitable for nomads who need exceptional internet and a quiet place to work.
