Lovely little unit. It does back right onto the freeway, however, we didn't find the noise an issue unless we had the door open, then it was just a little hard to hear tv. Sleeping was no problem. The only problem was the galah that would often squawk for hours at night, but Diane and Matt moved him a couple of days before we left and he was quiet so sleeping was a breeze. Would recommend if you are looking for somewhere close to everything and love being near the water as the river is at the end of the street and great for walking and their is a coffee van nearby 7 days a week
