How the numbers work
Night-noise risk
Bars, pubs and nightclubs mapped in OpenStreetMap within 250 m of the point you would stay at, as low, medium or high. Mapped venues, not measured sound.
Climb
The spread in metres between the highest and lowest sampled points, from an open elevation model, so hills show up before you walk them.
Walking minutes
Straight-line distance plus 30% for the street network at 80 m a minute, to the nearest metro and the main sights.
Hotels
Hotels exactly as tagged in OpenStreetMap: the name, the stars tag and the address, nearest first. No ratings, prices or reviews.
