This place is very quiet as all the windows face an inner courtyard. It's really convoluted to get to the apartment from the street. You have to ride an elevator to the 2nd floor (or walk steps) and then traverse an open courtyard, then walk up two more flights of stairs. There are a bunch of small businesses that share the buildings as well as some residences. It was overall very quiet but the neighbors do turn on the lights at night and some smoke. So if you are trying to sleep with the windows open (no A/C) then you will notice this. The washer dryer combo is also hard to figure out. Just put it on Levage & Sechage. It will wash and dry your clothes in one hour. The clothes might be a little damp but they provide a drying rack.
