Where should I put my puppy’s crate?

I recently posted another crate training post, this one is just surrounded on where the best place for her crate is

The way my house is laid out, my bedroom is downstairs and the living room with the sliding door access to the backyard is upstairs. When I first got my puppy, I decided I’m going to put her crate in the living room so that potty training would be a bit easier as there is easier access to outside. I sleep on the couch near her crate, because I don’t want her to sleep in the living room alone. I did this with the intention of eventually moving her crate downstairs to my room, so that she can still sleep near me when I sleep in my bed.

Just need advice. Is it better to leave her crate in the living room and make her sleep alone up there? She’s only 13 weeks still can’t hold her bladder throughout the night, so I’m scared I wouldn’t hear her asking to come out to potty. Or should I move it downstairs so that she’s more comfortable being near me and just bring her up every time she needs to potty? It’s also convenient for it to be in the living room because I try to feed her meals in there to build a positive association with the crate, and it’s right next to the kitchen where I prep her food. Not sure how much longer to keep doing that either.
