Great stay overall, the only thing I would mention would be the kitchen. I stayed for 1 month and it was not really conducive for home-cooked meals. It seemed much more adequate for shorter stays, with a small fridge and a small electric burner that caused the pan to smoke. Nevertheless, it did have the listed amenities so I was able to make it work. Hosts were attentive with the weekly cleanings and when the blender was found to be inadequate, it was promptly changed out with a working one. As far as noise levels, you can hear pretty much everything. Every time another guest arrived (there are multiple spaces for rent sharing the same hallway) or left, or talked in the courtyard. Pretty much anytime someone was in the hallway. Even with this, my stay was peaceful and my sleep was never interrupted. As far as outside noise, well you are in the city- it's to be expected. Aesthetically pleasing space in a safe walkable area, even a 711 within walking distance. Would definitely stay again
