The unit is as described and met our needs as a resting place before we started our trip to Hana. It is indeed right in front of the busy road and since it's an apartment building, there's noise from adjacent neighbors. However with the A/C unit running in the bedroom as background noise, we slept just fine. It's a slightly older looking unit from the outside but Paolo has fully renovated the interior. We enjoyed the unique decor, the comfortable bed, and the hot shower. We would certainly stay again if we needed to be in the area in the future.
