The neighborhood is lively with many tapas bars, restaurants, and shops within a 5-minute walk. While the area offers a bohemian feel, some may find it less polished than the city center.

Room types range from singles to family rooms and suites. Standard rooms have a small balcony overlooking the street; junior suites and family rooms face the quieter interior courtyard.
