This is a fantastic location and comfortable stay! Just a few minutes from the beach and shopping/bars/restaurants and a grocery across the street. It is a very basic stay, with few amenities (we had to buy a few things to use the kitchen/laundry like olive oil, detergent)...but the apartment and friendly staff more than made up for this. About the noise, yes, a bit of noise from the airplanes and street but we loved the energy of the neighborhood and wore earplugs to bed if we wanted to leave the window open. We would stay here again!
