Quiet neighbourhood even with pubs and restaurants located very close and only minutes away from the tram lines. About 10min from the metro. Parks are near by as well as popular sites. The TV tower is 5mins away. The flat is on the main floor and the window opens to the street. We had the window open and found that people stood outside chatting. We are heavy sleepers so it didn't bother us, but it could bother someone who is a light sleeper.
