The noise mentioned on and off- it was definitely loud in the mornings. BUT, if you’re not sleeping in it shouldn’t be a problem. We also learned the top portion of the window was open our first night and once closed it was much quieter. The beds were firm. This is typical of European beds so if you like firm beds you’ll be fine. They provided many extra blankets which I used to make the bed more comfortable. Otherwise it’s a perfectly beautiful apartment with more amenities than we needed. The natural sunlight was great, and Simone gave us great recommendations of where to go and even places to go on our next leg of the trip! Definitely stay here if firm beds and morning noise are not an issue.
