Height is far from the only significant stat. Are you long limbed? That will definitely change what you find "fits." And some people like to feel more stretched out on a bike, some like to be in a more compact position. As always, YMMV.

If the bike feels too big, than perhaps it is. For you. Play with the seat position, adjust the handlebars, see what you come up with.
I agree here. I hate that size charts only use height when there are so many other considerations precisely because of overlap.
