The main issue with the above is assuming center location and very large apartment (two or more rooms), vs the more typical situation of a studio or one bedroom apartment (tho still comfortable sized) and located just on the edge of the center. (walking to the opera house for me is around 30 minutes if I take it slow, 22 minutes if I am in a hurry)
My girlfriend has a one bedroom in the center, for 25,000+2,000 a month rent/utilties. and it it literaly 5 minute stroll from the opera house
