Pros:

Its close to the men's entrance gates and the Rawda
And the womens entrance you can reach the outside courtyard in time for namaaz
Quba market is to the right and Masjid Ghumama is a stone throw away also

Cons:

If you take elderly with you (women) then I would advise the other side- which is totally opposite
Food and shopping malls are also a fair walk away
You can get local things though and local shops
