The Apartment with A View is was a good 'miss'. The typical summer crowds ensure a lot of noise and revelers on that walkway at night, plus heavy car/motorcycle traffic--especially on Sunday afternoons, which means lots of exhaust fumes. The restaurants below you are full, busy, noisy and smelly. We have passed it up, too, as it's been on the market many times over our 10 years here, and remain happier elsewhere.
Only you know if it was worth giving up a view. The first thing I look at when renting is location and view. I have not had the experience you have by renting for months. By the time we get there, you will probably have moved again.
