The apartment itself was very comfortable and decorated very well but the noise factor was definitely a deterrent. It is located next door to a restaurant where the guests tend to go outside to end their evening, talking loudly into the midnight hour. Also, trash was picked up 2 of our 3 night stay, around the midnight hour as well. The street is very narrow so the truck was very loud. Yellow street lights shine right outside the windows so all of the shutters must be kept closed which is an issue if fresh air is desired.
