The location is great as far as being centrally located. Train station and metro very close. Apt Is good for a quick trip. No closets, so be prepared to live out of your suitcase. The heavy street noise is minimized by the heavy doors when closed. But there is live music all day long, from 9am till 8pm. And then some from the cleaning crew after hours, till midnight or later. The host's are really great and it is a good location. I just didn't know that although it is several blocks above the waterfront area, it is still very lively. Which is migigated by the heavy window doors when closed. It was the constant music that for me was an issue. Next time, I will understand that this spot is street lively and music lively. Otherwise, great spot, host is very good.
