This is a basement apartment. If this is something a no for you, then that's it. I'm here for a vacation and visit of the city. Not a bad spot for exploring the city. I choose this place in the case if I need public transport but I don't need it at the end. It is not very noisy but the sound proofing is not great. You can hear they walk upstairs but the host is very quite in general. Good experience to me coz I know what to expect.
