Know the rhythm before you go.
Cardozo is easiest with a little planning: which neighborhood to pick, when it’s quiet, and how to get around.
Park once and move on foot

Choose quieter windows for sleep
Cardozo sits close to lively dining and nightlife streets, so rooms facing an interior courtyard or side street often sleep better. If you are a light sleeper, quieter windows matter more here than a lower rate.
Match the stay to your plans
