This is a great location for the price, if you don't mind being a little removed from the action. It is easy to find and surrounded by a lot of great restaurants. The street does get a little loud at night, but with the windows closed you don't hear anything. The staircase is VERY steep. We didn't have any problems and you get used to it, but someone with back knees may not be able to make it up. I would also not bring big heavy suitcases. the kitchen was great, we ended up cooking a lot, but no oven just keep that in mind. Overall it was a great place!
