This is a very comfortable space for a family of four, in a great building, and in a fabulous location. It does get some street noise, but that was only an issue on one night, which happened to be the biggest national holiday of the year, so probably every apartment in the city had noise that night. The host has a second unit that faces the interior courtyard if you think noise would be a problem. This is definitely one of the nicest places I have stayed in. The kitchen is very well outfitted, and there are several good grocery stores and restaurants within a few blocks. There is also a taxi stand a half-block away.
