Don't get this place for the view, you can really only see stuff if you lean way out the window. And don't worry that it looks like it's at the end of a slightly dodgy alley. That's just the nature of the city. That all said, we just spent 10 weeks travelling and stayed in 28 AirBnB along the way. This might have been the nicest of the lot (in terms of how great the space, floors, kitchen, bath etc. was). The bathtub was better than the spa pool at our previous stay, and the place is immaculate. It's plenty close to the city centre and public transport, so that's not a worry either. If you want to be able to hide away down a dark alley in a hidden mini-palace (lots of carved marble...) then this is the place for you.
