Having spent a month in Madeau's place, I can definitely vouch it for a perfect spot for someone looking for a quiet place to work. The place is quiet and close enough to public transport to make moving around easy. During my stay I didn't meet the neighbours even once, and I didn't hear them either -- and I'm a light sleeper.
For the same reasons the place is a good fit for someone working remotely it's a nice match for families with children too. There enough space for kids to play, and a quiet neighbourhood with families with kids around means the neighbours are used to some noises of "the real life" ie. kids.
Heck, I'd buy the place should it be in sale.
