A good quarter mile

This is extracted from a book I read:

"Is this as close as you can get?" Robert Langdon felt a sudden wave of anxiety as his driver parked on First Street, a good quarter mile from the Capitol Building.

What does "a good quarter mile" mean here?

Thanks in advance,

It just means 1/4 of a mile. The "good" suggests that it is a long walk to Robert.
