Giles & Laura's place is on a narrow street, just off the main street with 3 bars/pubs literally within a stones throw of the front door. Amazingly, we only heard a faint noise from one of them late on Saturday night. The master bedroom is on the back. We slept with the window open all night and no noise at all. The location is right where you want to be if you're looking for all the action of Soho while still being able to go home and sleep in peace. The walk through Soho between this place and river is really great. Pubs, Restaurants, Theaters, its all there. The quaint old world street is a plus for the nostalgic, but may be a minus for the very faint of heart. Might feel to some like your walking through a back alley. There is a high end restaurant at the end of the street, and we felt safe enough to leave our windows open all night. If your looking for outstanding access to this part of London, I highly recommend.
