We loved the neighborhood which is walking distance to metro and many tourist attractions and restaurants. We arrived during a heat wave, however, so we had to keep our windows open, but the nearby street cafes and markets are -- while fun and exciting -- noisy! Bring good earplugs and sleep masks. Enjoy the quirks (elevators and corridors are narrow!) and the delicious breakfasts. We did. The rooms are spartan and immaculate. Excellent value.
