This is a really cool flat! Sitting in the living room in the summer sun, with the wall-to-wall doors open, really felt great. As noted there is a lot of traffic noise, especially when the windows are open. I'm usually very sensitive to sound, and I found it tolerable for 2 weeks (but probably wouldn't be able to handle it for much more than that, haha). The location and fun layout of the flat made it totally worth it, though.
