The location was fantastic; we could walk to basically anything. The street on which the apartment was located had a variety of nice cafes and restaurants that stayed open pretty late. However, by no means was it too loud at night-- we had absolutely no trouble falling asleep with the windows open and the fans on (there's no AC). The next street over was even livelier. Great for breakfast (as there was a farmer's market open in the mornings), lunch, and dinner. Overall, super convenient, fun, and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.
