The apartment comes well equipped. We enjoyed being able to open the balcony doors to connect with the outside, although the space itself is narrow and can accommodate no more than 2 people. There is not much traffic noise, but the partygoers can get a bit rowdy. The back bedroom is insulated from that, but the front not as much. We found the location to be good for walking everywhere, and were glad that the city picks up garbage regularly. There is a great coffee shop called Pum Pum very close by.
