I couldn’t ask for a better location. So many of our tours met within walking distance and those that did not we were able to reach with a 4 minute walk to the metro entrance. We were there 9 days and the shop and restaurant staffs got to know our names as we walked down the street every day. Felt safe enough to send our kids across the street for gelato. Plenty of space for our family of five. Our hosts were always available with suggestions and the car service they set up for us was outstanding. I read the reviews about the noise and there is noise but more of a product of the energy the neighborhood generates. Mostly excited voices heading to dinner or dessert
