The apartment is located inside a park and there is no passage of cars, the train station is 1 km away, the beach and the village are 200 meters away. Rapallo is very lively and full of restaurants and shops of all kinds. The only thing to underline: the garden borders the railway so the trains pass very close. With the windows closed, you don't hear them go by, but obviously in the garden you can hear the noise. Can be funny but it depends on your feeling.
