Great location for shops, restaurants, bars. Area has a lovely lively feel to it but just a warning about the noise from the bar below the property. The noise in August (may be different at other times of year) can go on until 3 or 4 in the morning. People spill out onto the street and as always alcohol results in loud voices! The latter part of our stay was during the Local festival which is hugely popular and definitely worth visiting but it did mean the noise could be heard nearly right through the night. It’s easy to get to places from here. Metro and bus stops near and if you are fine with walking then many places can be reached in 25-30 mins.
