If you plan to visit a city, do you ever consider what part of the city you want to stay in? Or maybe, you don't really care because cabs are everywhere. Well, a person like me, who prefers to walk or take public transportation (at any time of the day), always thinks of the most ideal location, with respect to what I think is important. What would those be? Well, proximity to a bus stop or subway station, for one. Safety is another. The noise factor (is it near a busy street) and will there be drunken people, loud disco bars and even sirens sounding off all night? Oh yeah, and is there access to food and water in the middle of the night? If not, stock up on those if you don't want to brave the streets after midnight.
Most big cities have good areas and bad areas, so they say. But surprisingly, I've noticed, it just takes one wrong turn to end up in a bad part of town. But if you decide on where you wish to stay, read up on the area before finalizing your accommodations. It just takes a few hours to ensure your stay will be a memorable one. A really good one, at that.
