This is a tourist street. We were tourists. There is no sightseeing on the street but all the services you need to survive are there.

B'ful facade of every home on the street....however stay away from these dubious touts and walk a few steps out of street to hire autos....always take a ferrry which is so cheap and an experience in itself.
