Yes, the street is a little noisy, but it's a big city so that's to be expected. I use a white noise app on my phone when I sleep, so this didn't bother me at all. The studio is a good size for one or two people. The water heater is good for about an 8-9 minute shower. Location felt very safe, it was nice that the building was secure. I would definitely stay here again if I come back. Close to great sightseeing, the tram stop, excellent restaurants and a great cafe nearby!
