Why can it be so important to pick the right place?

In most cases, the location can make a huge difference to your time here. The decision shouldn’t just be based on the wider area that you’re hoping to stay in, but rather the specific location and the amenities of the property and locality.

Having an idea of local landmarks and facilities that you want to visit for a well-balanced trip, and the time it will take to reach them, can be worthwhile.
