the apartment is situated in a pedestrianised street which can get busy but you do not notice the noise when in the flat or garden. There are plenty of bars and cafes around. can recommend the craft bar just up the road, it has a lovely beer garden upstairs. The apartment had everything we needed and we appreciated the fan being there as it was very hot. The bedroom was nice and dark and kept relatively cool but beware of the odd mosquito. the location was good but if you go down to the river the walk back is very steep.
