Area is quiet as it’s in a more residential section. Still not far from the main attractions. The canal view requires poking your head out the window to see it. No real communal space to hang out. The heat took a bit to warm the place up-it’s a historic building so to be expected. If you run cold maybe message and ask that the maid turn the heat on for you as the first night we were chilly. Great to have the 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms for our family. Valentina was also very responsive to questions.
