We like to walk, and this is the perfect neighborhood for that. It's residential, so local people are out and about, but there are few tourists. Yet, it's about 6 or 8 blocks to the bridges, and it's a 20-minute walk (or a 10-minute bus ride) to the train station. Just up the street are restaurants, pizzerias, bakeries and a green grocer. We were about two blocks from a park in one direction, and two blocks from a piazza with a church/museum in the other. We were two couples, but the accommodations are perfect for families. We would stay there again.
