Exact walking comfort depends on your route and the building’s location.

If you want to keep things simple, choose a listing with clear access to transit and review the building notes for parking where available. That gives you the most flexibility for day trips and everyday movement.
Two to four nights usually works well if you want a slower neighborhood stay with time for practical errands, meals, and easy day plans.
