Overall its a good location and value. I was in town for a conference and the unit is a short walk to/from the convention center as well as restaurants/bars in the east village and gas lamp district. As indicated in the listing, it can be noisy with the trolley and construction. However, this unit is on the opposite side from construction so I didn't find it too bad. A couple things to note if your thinking about staying here: 1) The amenities lists that the unit includes a washer and dryer. While there is technically a coin-operated washer and dryer in the building, there is no washer and dryer in the unit itself. 2) The building is old, so expect to hear noise from your neighbors in addition to the outside noise. This unit is right next to the stairs, and you'll hear if anyone walks up or down them.
