This apartment is LOUD. You are in the middle of gas lamp so the location could not be better but brace yourself because you will see and hear everything on the streets downtown at night from guys showing off their loud exhausts, bar fights, girls screaming, car alarms, police sirens, and everything in between.
Bring ear plugs.
There are two beds: one is in the living room/kitchen and this one gets most of the noise, the second bed is private and in its own room away from the street (so it’s loud but not as loud).
We expected street noise due to the location, description, and reviews, but want to emphasize for others this really is something to think about. The windows in this building look to be 100 years old and barely function.
Finally, expect over communication. The host messaged us three times for check in and three times again before check out to remind us when to check out.
We can read. We saw the times on the website. Nevertheless we received multiple messages days before reminding us to please check out, despite us barely being unpacked.
