The apartment is in the center of everything. The owner left us a lovely bottle of wine, some yummy cheese, nibbles, and coffee for the morning. There is definitely noise associated with being so central, but that is fairly called out in the listing. Bar noise went until 4am, and recycling collection happens before 0700. Bring earplugs, and sleep soundly with them. It was loud, BUT. We loved it. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
