Joel's place is small but bright and the bed is super comfortable. The room is connected via a door with Joel's apartments so the noise from downstairs carries a bit, but it wasn't much of a problem for us and we slept just fine. The neighbourhood is buzzing during the day but it seemed quiet at night - we never heard any street noise. There are plenty of corner shops in very close proximity, the subway is about 10-15mins walk away as well, and there are many great bars and restaurants within walking distance.
