There is sound until 3am especially on weekends- it is the most beautiful sound- laughter, voices, music. We loved living on Atalaia for one month, it's close to everything, it's small but fits a lot of beautiful moments. Highly recommend! Plus, it sits on the hill which means it's easy to go anywhere, and then the uphill journey home is an accomplishment and you reward yourself with a little snack and a nap! We sat for hours on the balcony watching the people in the evening, or soaking the morning sun (that's when it reaches the balcony directly)
