We had a wonderful time in this apartment. It's conveniently located to great shops and restaurants. The apartment is comfortable- great bed, nice sheets, plenty of towels, and a wonderful bonus of a basement laundry room. The street is very noisy (buses running well into the night, loud conversations) and with old windows you can hear much of it from inside the apartment. If you're a good sport and consider it part of the city experience, you'll be more than happy here. We enjoyed the hustle and bustle and considered it a fair trade to be so close to the fun. The apartment itself is "vintage" but perfectly clean. Bring above a coffee shop was an added bonus! We definitely would stay here again!
