The apartment is very nice. Location is conveniently near a metro. The sound didn’t bother us one bit. I’d recommend white noise apps on your phone if you are a very light sleeper, but most people shouldn’t have a problem. There a cafe/bar nearby and others relatively close. The one downside was that the water in the shower would only stay warm for a couple minutes max. That was after a full night of no one showering. Host claimed they had warm water for 20 minutes. We could not duplicate that.
