The location is fantastic to get around. The A/C is almost no -existent, and you need to be capable of climbing about 7 flights of steep stairs. In the morning, there will be a lot of street noise around 5:30am as street vendors bring/get their stands for the piazza around the corner; then its very quiet again. Thats just city life and the luxury of having piazzas around the corner. You just deal with it.
