I stayed in the Gothic quarter years ago and loved it

Going to be staying at Hotel Colon soon in the Gothic Quarter. Central location and highly recommended by a friend. They have rooms with beautiful cathedral views.

Anecdotally I’ve heard that thieves know about certain Airbnbs and will target those properties since neither the owners nor guests will prosecute. We stayed at a couple Friendly Rentals units, same concept but they’re managed more centrally so it felt safer. We didn’t have any issues at the apartments for whatever that’s worth.
For neighborhoods, I would also recommend the gothic quarter.

For those of you with kids, I am looking to travel with my wife and son (who’ll be 2.5 years old at the time of travel) to either Greece or Italy - any suggestions on which one to do? Not planning on doing both in one trip and not looking for suggestions to consider alternatives. Simply looking for advice on which one to do with a toddler this age from those that have experience traveling with kids. Leaning towards Italy but I doubt a 2.5 year old cares much about Roman history.
