The room is elegant and full of character as described. However "the environment is elegant and quiet" is a stretch. Elegant, yes; quiet, no. If you're planning to go clubbing and return close to dawn this is probably the ideal place to stay. If you want to actually sleep at night, forget it. The noise from the streets was deafening until past 3:00 a.m. With the windows and shutters closed the decibel level lowered slightly but was then unbearably hot. We never met Monica but we were met by her representative and had the house rules explained to us. Much stress was placed on being quiet in the evening! A great place to stay for the right clientele but not for us.
