What a great location! We read the other reviews before booking, and agree with the noise issues that others have said. The windows are only single paned so you will hear some traffic noise. We heard very little from the butcher The Chop Shop below us. It was not a problem for our stay. The only other issue that I don't remember reading about is there is no elevator and the apartment is on the second floor. This wasn't a problem for us, but might be for others. That being said, we loved the location, having the breakfast/coffee shop below. It's decorated well and has a very open feel. It had a side room with lots of windows that we were able to work from. We would definitely book again.
