Great place to stay! ok - it's 4 flights up... but you'll get used to it... my kids raced to the top everyday - I lost all but once! The area it is in is very lively - so you will hear a lot of street noise - which I didn't mind at all.... you can hear the church bells and one day I could hear someone singing opera! How cool is that!!! Lots of cafes and places to eat all around. The A/C worked great too! There was everything you would need - even rain ponchos and an umbrella - which we didn't need thankfully! Great place and teh host and her husband were wonderful! Thank you!!! :)
