As stated in the ad, it is above a very busy market,and there are bars and restaurants on the street as well. So there is noise, sometimes till 10 or 11 at night. But we didn't mind at all. We were still able to fall asleep. When you shut the window you could hear nothing. I actually liked the feeling of being in the middle of things. They provided a fan, which kept us cool. They interacted with us, which was nice, so we could get to know people from a different country a little better, and shared coffee, bread, egg rolls, etc. Very nice, very clean, well-appointed place to stay. Location easy to get to other places by bus, walking or tram.
