That is the curse of living very near to a square. You bought the villa for the convenience but it is the same reason investors are highly interested. It is also the same reason people wanting to rent flock to my neighborhood.

So, what do you do? Walk around and be angry all the time? Making your life miserable? Instead of that, I accept I made a choice and have to deal with my neighborhood being a haven for renters. If I had to do it again, I absolutely would not purchase a villa very near to a square. Even some of the nice, big, homes outside of the villas have problems. Gawkers constantly staring and taking pictures and selfies. I have learned the hard way, convenience comes with a price. (And, I am not talking monetary.). Just deal with my choice the best way I can.
