Lovely place and you could not be more centrally located. We were worried it would be loud, but it was not. The windows close tightly and the black out curtains help insulate the sound. It was so easy to walk to wherever we wanted to go and we often sat by the windows just watching the bustle of the street below. Warning, the stairs are extremely narrow (about a suitcase wide :) which wasn't a problem for us, but could pose one for some. The host was so responsive and so delightful and the information she has about the location itself and activities in town is impressive. We loved it.
