The apartment is located on the 5th floor on a big street, but it's quite isolated so the noise isn't a major problem. We were (i think) the only ones in the building (beside the night guardian) and i must admit we felt quite safe amidst the area isn't one that looks very safe at night. The area is actually very near to the city centre, less than 10 minutes by walk! It was very furnished although the AC was quite slow!
