Before coming I was concerned with smells of smoking and noise. I am an hyper-sensitive person and what is bearable to most people is not bearable to me. I can confirm now that despite a room being available to smokers, because there is a window open in that room at all times, the smell of the smoke does not affect the rooms. Noise wise I had issues with a fan engine noise from the boiler that was being triggered on and off ongoingly throughout the day and night due to the cold. Iilir answers very quickly on whatsapp though and was able to address partly this issue early on my stay, which was good. Neighbours or other guests did not represent a problem, although sometimes I had to remind others that after 11 they should not be really using the kitchen or common areas. Overall a good experience.
