Yes. This is - especially for addresses - the common case, so there is no need to travers a relationship between tables. If you want to reuse your address entity, so there will be a address table, you can create a simple wrapper for your address with nothing more than an identifier and an embedded field address or your address must be a full entity and not an embeddable.
