Three of us stayed at Robert's place which was ideal. It had everything we needed, we were out a lot and everything we wanted to see or do was within half an hours walk. It was pretty quiet in the apartment - no noise from traffic or neighbours. We had the windows open as we prefer fresh air (although there is very good air conditioning) . There was a bit of noise early morning from bottles being dumped in the lane, but it didn't really disturb us. We chose to eat out for most of our meals, but the kitchen is very well equipped for cooking and we could easily have saved our cash and eaten in the flat. Great place, great host!
