We stayed here for 9 days, and I will say the location was great we walked almost everywhere, only time we took a taxi was for the magic fountain most areas are a 15-30 min walk. The stairs though....are killers but as others mentioned help work off all the great food. The restaurant around the corner called bar santa fe was amazing for breakfast and Brazilian style lunch, plus extremely reasonable. A nice touch too was the washer, it's hot and we sweat so it was nice to be able to wash our clothes. The place is also close to a grocery store where we got water bottles and snacks. I would stay here again.
