My daughter & I were traveling & safety is always of utmost importance for a trip like this. The hotel is tucked away on a side street/alley. The area is fairly busy. We never felt unsafe. The hotel is in a very central location, which makes walking to most of the attractions. Very doable if you enjoy walking a fair amount. At street level there is an arch that you walk through and then on the right there is a door with a person sitting in the office just to the right. The elevator is on the left, will fit 1 person, 1 large suitcase, and 1carry-on comfortably. It it appears to be ADA compliant based on US standards. The hotel is on the third floor so you go up a little elevator, or you can take the beautiful marble staircase. The breakfast was great & includes made to order scrambled eggs. The orange juice tasted like it was fresh squeezed daily. They will hold your luggage if you arrive prior to check in. When you exit the elevator on the third floor, you will go to the left and the entrance is there. There is a very kind lady that sits at the desk who will assign your room and give you keys not only to your room, but also the entry door to the hotel, which is locked in the evening. so, there is a double security set up with locked doors. Our room was very spacious. We had the triple. The seagulls get quite noisy in the courtyard so you will want to bring a pair of earplugs. Beds & pillows, very comfortable. Stairs to loft: short treads little too small. I recommend hotel
