The host was understanding when it turned out this place did not fit my needs for peace, quiet, and privacy for the weekend. The studio flat is clean and ordered and has everything you need but it's near a busy, noisy road and people in other apartments on the same floor can often be heard through the walls, which goes both ways, of course. They can also hear you. The apartment is entered off a narrow alley a few steps off Caledonian Road and is above ground level but just. It is not the first level up. It's like ground level plus half a level. The view out the windows is of another building on the other side of the alley, which has flood lights in it. These are the reasons the place is not for me
