Acceptable, but Noise Was an Issue

street noise thin walls
The location was pretty good. It was easy to walk to the city center.
The street noise was TERRIBLE. My room faced the main road, and the traffic was constant, even late at night. The windows clearly didn't block much sound. I could also hear EVERYTHING from the adjacent rooms. It was hard to relax.

This place has a FANTASTIC central location. The room was very modern and immaculate. I also loved the fridge. It was very useful. I would certainly book again next time I'm visiting. The host was also very friendly and cute!
The soundproofing isn't great. I could hear everything happening above me. Every single step they took came POUNDING through. It made sleeping difficult.
