You are definitely in the part of town where all the action is. If you are into the night life, this is the place for you. The stairs are formidable but you can’t avoid that anywhere you stay in the city. We were late getting in to town and had to hurry quickly to see an attraction where the ticket had a specific window of time for entry. Left our bags downstairs and when we arrive back they had been taken up for us. Very gracious of our host to do that. Excellent communication before and during the stay.
