The apartment is in a social area, lots of eateries and bars. We read former reviews about noise levels but thought as we were visiting mid week this would not be a problem. However Tuesday proved the worst and Wednesday & Thursday nights not much better. The bars impact the quiet enjoyment of this apartment making sleep during nighttime hours almost impossible. Ear plugs were provided but were not enough. Checkin wasn’t smooth, partly our error in not having internet connection but Ivan & Carol were accommodating allowing us early access to leave our bags. Truly I find it not possible to recommend this apartment to others unless they just want to party.
