The apartment is great but there is not any sound proofing in the ceiling. We heard every step, every conversation, even cupboard or drawer opening and closing above us. The tenants arriving back from a night on the town at 3 am or the parents of small children were not being excessively noisy but the noise of their every move made sleep impossible. We left after 2 nights (we were booked for 7). We got sympathy but no refund from the owner or VRBO. Beware!
