The apartment was good - my siblings and I stayed for a week over the holidays. It was big enough for all three of us with plenty of common area, especially the amazing porch and terrace! The neighbors can be heard pretty clearly (thin walls) but the neighborhood overall is pretty quiet. The only major downside for us was the apartment not being set up for cooking (ie. No oven, only one cutting board, no lids to pots and pans etc, no basics like flour or sugar)
