The rental apartment was as described. It's close to restaurants, night scene, markets, etc. It's in a great location! The host gave us tips on where to visit. It was an enjoyable experience. You can hear the people walking beside the apartment since it's on the ground floor. If you aren't keen to noise then it may not be the best experience for you. I grew up in a city so it was perfectly okay for me. It doesn't get super loud but it may if people are out and about.
