Shane was very flexible and patient about move-in time, and came to find me himself when I got lost on the way to his place! The apartment is old and a bit run-down but is kept extremely clean. In addition to the noise from outside, the staircase is very squeaky, and there's a skylight linking my bedroom and the stairs -- not exactly a silent apartment. but, the bathroom is well removed from the bedrooms! The neighborhood is full of interesting shops and restaurants, plus it's a great place to people-watch. The apartment is also very convenient to the train station and to many bus lines.
