The location was great for walking to all the sites and had many non-tourist restaurants nearby. Noise was not an issue being on the ground level (which also means no steps if you are looking for a place without them). The bedroom was surprisingly silent. I usually wear earplugs when I travel because I am a light sleeper and there was no need for them here! While the listing was accurate and the unit was clean some things could use a refresh. There seems to have been a decent amount of wear since the renovations mentioned in the description (e.g. gaps in tile grout) but nothing that would be a deal-breaker. We did not have any issues with communication. The futon was set up as a bed prior to check-in per our request. For awareness purposes only, the step over the tub wall into the shower is very high and might be something to keep in mind if those sort of things are an issue for you.
