First of all, though this is a private neighborhood, inaccessible to regular cars and Uber's, it IS accessible by taxi cab (which is very inexpensive). If you don't drive in, it is very difficult to navigate all of the stairs with heavy bags. Also, people who are not agile and in shape should not stay in this area.
The area with the good view is a ways a way. We also found it very easy to get excessively lost in this area (for hours). Not good if you don't have a solid map and/or international GPS.
Note, the apartment isnt much, but it is a decent price for the area, if that is what you are looking for. Also, Maria's communication is solid, and she makes check-in/check-out much easier.
