Location is perfect for younger travelers. It's next to a lot of great restaurants and bars. 10 minute easy walk to the beach. We loved the neighborhood. We felt safe walking around late at night. It was great for our needs.
The staircase is as bad as mentioned in every review. its 2 feet wide and winds at a tight angle. It's like climbing an old church tower. It's not a dealbreaker as you only have to carry your bags up once. You may also get lucky and get a lower floor. We were on the 4th.
It also can be noisy at night past 4AM as it is really close to the bars.
For these two reasons, I would not book it for a family.
We had a great time and would book again.
