The apartment is in a great location, walkable to most sites, but off the main road. We did not have a problem with noise, but it is a big apartment building with many people coming and going. The apartment is large and has a nice kitchen area with a comfortable sofa. The only issue is really with the windows. The two kitchen windows face a wall, which is not necessarily a problem, but the wall is really an enclosure so all the windows are closed in and there is little ventilation. In the summer, it is hot and humid and having no airflow through the windows was not great. However, because it is a bottom floor apartment is does seem to stay relatively cool and keeps a constant temperature so that is an advantage. Overall, a comfortable place to stay, just be aware of what to expect.
