The Good: Amazing, spacious and luxurious apartment. All amenities as advertised. Very comfortable bed. Excellent kitchen and bathroom. Very comfortable interior, newly renovated. Ice cold A/C in the bedroom for nighttime sleeping. Restaurants, bus stops, ATM, pharmacy, restaurants, bars are all within 300m of the apartment. Super easy walk to/fro. Nice view from the window. Super nice and responsive host.
The bad: Noisy. The apt. sits on top of 3-4 restaurants with music and a playground of loud children well into the night, 2200-2300 before it gets quiet. Early morning restaurant delivery carts are loud rolling on the bricks. The bedroom faces all this. The living room door is at street level 3 steps from a busy lane, neighbors leaning against their cars talking right outside the front door. Light sleepers will struggle with this apartment. I travel with ear plugs and sleeping mask, so absolutely no issue for me. Also I don’t go to bed until 2230-2300 anyways.
Would I return knowing all this? Yes!! - with earplugs and mask. I loved the easy access location & the public transportation buses are cheap, timely, and efficient! Thank you!!
