Excellent; you really get absorbed into how Piranesi cherishes the world around him. The house is surreal and seemingly infinite, simultaneously frozen still with thousands of marble statues yet lively with crashing tides and flying birds. The book does a great job of showing how the different characters treat the house, and fundamentally how they treat discovery, knowledge, science, and other people.
