The room itself was beautiful and the surrounding area is very cute. Unfortunately it’s very loud until quite late at night due to music from local bars and restaurants. This was the case on Thursday, as well as the weekend. We managed with white noise, but for anyone who needs silence for sleeping, it would be hard to sleep well.
