The host gave us great information about the place and neighborhood. This apartment is on a pedestrian street. there is a restaurant with outside tables nearby, but it was quiet after 21:00 or so and not a problem before that--we slept with the windows open. There are several bus stops within 100 meters, so getting anywhere is quick and easy. The subway is a little further but also close--a three minute walk. This is a very nice spacious place in a great location.
