We really liked this place, especially because it was so quiet, even though it's right off a main street. We did hear some footsteps above us, but this wasn't a problem at all. The place is small, but we didn't spend much time there as we were always out seeing the sights. For an American family, there were two things to take into consideration. First is there is no curtain on the shower, so that's a bit odd for us. With only one bathroom this was a bit tricky with my wife and two daugthers...just took a bit of coordination. The second thing is no screens on the windows, which seems to be normal in Europe. I knew there was no AC, but assumed we could open the windows at night, which was not the case due to mosquitoes in the area. So since it was July and probably about 78-82 degrees inside at night, we were very hot for sleeping. We had to go and buy a couple fans for the remaining nights. I am sure the heat is not always a problem, but it was when we were there. One other thing we really liked was the kitchen, although we only cooked breakfast once. There are a ton of restaurants, bakeries, and grocery/markets near by.
