Lovely place and great view. One thing though, you can have a full on conversation with your neighbors in the bathroom. So heads up your neighbor can hear everything in your restroom and you can hear them. Also I recommend 3rd floor if possible. We were on 2nd floor and the people above us decided to ride a scooter through the bedroom above us so we had to hear that for a good grip of a night. Thank goodness bed was comfortable or I would have slept badly because of the noise.
