Great location if you want to stay out of the main busy areas, but still great atmosphere, bars and restaurants right on your doorstep. Antonella met us and there was water, milk orange juice and breakfast snacks left for us so was a lovely touch. Balcony is lovely to view the canal and all that is going on down on the street. We had 2 kids with us and they loved having this view of everything. It is a bit loud at night from the pubs below but didn't keep us awake too much.
