The location in terms of convenience is a 5. The apartment is walking distance from many restaurants and shops, as well as the main train station. The reason why I gave it a 4 is because the noise from the main street was sometimes disruptive. Because the bedroom windows face the street you will likely hear the bus route every 15 minutes, returning bar-goers and early morning street sweeping/garbage pick up.
The apartment is spotless and a great location for walking distance to all shops and restaurants. The main train station, National Football Museum and Affleck's are all within a 10 minute walk and the neighborhood felt very safe for two young women to be exploring. One thing to note: noise from the main street could be disruptive for light sleepers. Because the bedroom windows face the street you will likely hear the bus route, returning bar-goers and early morning street sweeping/garbage pick up. Michael was quick to answer any questions we had and was more than accommodating by letting us check in early. He also provided a list of restaurants and was very hospitable!
