Caritas Bianchi Lodge Question
So, I'm thinking of staying at this rather uniquely named place next month. My friend swears the views are incredible, but the online reviews are…mixed. Some rave about the staff, others complain ab… more
Stayed there last spring. Views are incredible, no lie. Totally worth it for the panorama alone. Noise? Yeah, it depends. My room was quiet, but I was on a higher floor. Lower floors might be a bit noisier, especially if you're a light sleeper. The street outside gets busy. Staff were lovely though, genuinely helpful and friendly. Overall, I'd go back, but maybe request a higher floor if peace and quiet is your top priority.
That's really helpful, thanks! Higher floor it is then. Peace and quiet is definitely a priority for me. Glad to hear the staff were great; that makes a big difference. The views being amazing seals the deal.
Mid-Levels Mystery
So, I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central next month. I've heard it's insanely hilly – like, seriously steep hills. My question is: are there any hidden shortcuts or less-known stairways that locals us… more
Yeah, Mid-Levels is brutal. Seriously. Forget "insanely hilly," it's more like "vertical assault." Your friend's right about the views though – breathtaking. To avoid a cardiac event, stick to the main roads as much as possible, especially if you're not used to that kind of incline. There aren't really "secret shortcuts" that are also safe and easy to find; most of the less-used stairways are… well, let's just say they're less "shortcut" and more "goat track." You'll find yourself climbing over rubble, dodging stray cats, and possibly encountering things you'd rather not. Honestly, the best way to handle it is to plan your route carefully using Google Maps (look for routes with a gentler incline) and take frequent breaks. And maybe pack a defibrillator, just kidding (sort of). Enjoy the views, but prioritize your well-being. Small steps, my friend. Small steps.
