We spent a week with my wife there, the place Is not as noisy as we read, but a couple of things to keep in mind, it has very steep stairs (2 floors of stairs) that can be a little exhausting when you walk around a city like Portugual, also the bathroom is really small, it's doable to get in but consider it if you are not a regular size person, finally at night it gets very cold (at least in this time of the year) turn on the 2 heaters and use all the covers possible
