The apartment is a great space. I love the feel, decor, space and the comfy bed.
Other reviews are completely accurate from my experience when saying you can't hear the pub downstairs. I don't know how that happens - it does.
For me, as a light sleeper I needed to adapt to the traffic noise. I used earplugs after my first night and slept well every night. I eventually realized most of the outside street sound was coming through the A/C unit (which I had turned off) so the traffic noise is likely diminished in other seasons when the A/C unit might be removed.
The shower is a single person stall. It looks like it has been around awhile and was very clean. I had as much hot water as I needed without any problem. The information left in the apartment about how to get hot water was very helpful and accurate.
The kitchen had all I needed and then some.
Thanks to my hosts for welcoming into their apartment.
