2.Do you need a quiet night?
3.Are steep hills and stairs a problem?
4.Do you want dinner and bars within walking distance?
Answer all four and we'll narrow seven neighbourhoods down to one, and tell you what you're giving up.

How we ranked these
Areas are scored on six dimensions — first-timer convenience, value, dining, nightlife, quiet and transport — plus three hard signals the matcher uses to eliminate: hilliness, night noise, and whether you can walk to the main sights. Nightly ranges are typical mid-week shoulder-season figures for a double room, refreshed quarterly.
We earn a commission if you book through the links on this page. It does not change the ranking, and it is why the “areas to skip” section exists.
Costs are research-based estimates, not live prices — verify before booking.
