Had a wonderful stay. The apartment was extremely close to everything we wanted to do and from the window we could see plenty of store and things around, it was that close! It is located on the first floor up, so it could be quite loud on the street below but the windows and shades did a pretty good job of blocking out most loud sounds. We were also there for New Years Eve when it was especially loud and we didn't have any trouble going to sleep with the noise. The hosts were very responsive and the place was very clean!
