In my opinion it is better to live in a big flat far away from the center. Maybe, if you live alone and don\'t have family it will be more comfortable to live in small flat in the center. But I think, that to live far away from the center - is not a problem. With the car you can get to any place you need. Big flat has more space for everything. Usually such places far away from center have less tourists, they are not so crowded, have many shops and parks.
