Marco's place was in a great location and had everything we could need for a great stay. Yes, there are a ton of stairs but we only carry backpacks and pack light so it was no issue for us. There were several grocery stores all very close and it's also close to a ton of tapas places. I was a little concerned about street noise when we first arrived but once the windows are closed we could barely hear anything. The neighbors were pretty loud, though. We stayed 2 nights and both nights it sounded like they were actually in the apartment with us. We could hear dishes clattering, loud thuds, and clear voices. Once I turned on my white noise app and the fan provided in the room it was harder to hear them.
