Our stay at John's place was lovely, and the apartment is indeed in "the center of it all." I personally had no issues with the noise (music and shouting and the like) at night, but I know my boyfriend did since he went to bed later than me. It was nothing that a white noise app and a pair of ear plugs, which John provided in a jar by the bed, couldn't take care of. Shortly after we arrived, John popped in to make sure we were all set and gave us some suggestions for dinner and breakfast. The apartment is so cute and stylish - I could see myself living there. We absolutely loved the views of the city and being in walking distance of so many things. I would love to return sometime in the future - one night wasn't long enough!
