Palazzo Medusa is a fantastic place to stay.The room was very spacious, clean and safe. The neighborhood is awesome, very close to every major attraction and restaurants. We walked everywhere within 15-30 minutes and there are plenty of places to eat withing five minutes. The building is on a little side alley, so it's quiet and easy to get to. There is a parking garage just 4 blocks away, a 3 minute walk. The hotel is i a restricted driving area, but the garage is not, so you cannot drive to the front door with a rental car, but that didn't matter. A must stay, I will definitely stay there again.
