This apartment is close to pretty much everything. Everything you need is in short walking distance. Multiple grocery stores, Yumbo centrum, bus stop to the airport, beach Playa de Ingles, beach boulevard with restaurants, bars, nightlife. Still this location is rather calm and quiet. Anyways I think all areas can have some noises and here you can hear them quite clearly inside the apartment. So if you are not a good sleeper like me, it could be a problem. Regardless i managed to fall a sleep pretty okay with earplugs. The pool area is okay, sunshine lasted from 10am to 17pm so more than enough. The balcony is nice to have in the evenings. There are no actual glass windows, but some sort of blinds you can open and close and these aren’t sound proof but help with ventilation in the evening.
