It wasn't the street music and the host was surprised that it would come form the restaurant. Said would support me but I don't know what that means because clearly they did nothing to find...

"This apartment in the medieval part of Coimbra is close to sights, shopping and cafes. We recommend the friendly cafe at the top of the street. The property is as lovely and well-appointed as in the listing. Just off the Old Cathedral square, although a narrow, cobbled street it is a bit of a thoroughfare. If you are not accustomed to city noise at night it may not be for you. There is also quite a bit of ambient light at night. There are shutters to block the light but they will block the night...
