This place is in a building that has no acoustic insulation. You can hear everything within the apartment, from upstairs to down, you can hear the neighbors (who were partying), and you can hear all the street traffic. It is very, very loud. Host was kind but not accommodating for us as a family with infant, not allowing us to arrive or check out even 30 min off schedule. Place was very clean and set up like a rental - no character, sterile but functional. It's great because it has so many beds and is clean, but not much else going for it.
