"The view is breathtaking. The staff is incredible and very knowledgeable. It’s the stairs and the parking that got me. Prices are inflated… and most importantly, get euros (us currency is not accepted anywhere) from the US banks before going… unless you enjoy getting racked! You could convert there but they’ll eat you alive with “fees”"
