It is close to an apartment as it is about half a kitchen. Vinny was quite responsive to a concern, and solved it quickly. The only issue is that it is close to the fun, so louder until everyone goes home, and closing windows is no help whatsoever if you think you might sleep. The Thai restaurant literally next door is highly rated, and locals recommend it. You can watch how many come for take out from this place out the window ;) , but I ate at Baileys and that was lovely. then at the Melody place next to Sean's bar. However, there are many more choices over the bridge. The location is amazing. The cafe downstairs is indeed lovely for breakfast.
