This place is great for the budget traveler. It's in the middle of many shops and restaurants. There's a dollar store two doors down.
The studio apartment has a full kitchen with fridge and stove with an oven. An excellent touch from the host is stocking the place with pots, pans, plates, bowls, cooking utensils, etc. There were also soap, shampoo and two bath towels and wash clothes in the bathroom.
I brought extra bath towels and wash clothes. Bought soap from the dollar store next door.
Parking is what you'll expect in big cities: limited to first come, first serve. Maybe parking officials were slipping on their jobs or I simply lucked out. I paid for parking for three days straight but stopped paying on the fourth and fifth days.
I didn't get any parking tickets. So, I guess lucky me. However, I did notice an official writing tickets on the second day of my stay. So, I wouldn't suggest you totally skip paying for parking.
Noise levels are typical for a business/residential/relatively high traffic area. And the neighbors were quiet for about 98% of the time, which speaks volumes.
Pun intended. :)
