It is a granny flat, therefore you might be able to hear indistinct chattering, but we still feel very private. It didn't bother us at all. It is located on a hill side and the neighbourhood is very quiet. The space is amazing in terms of comfort, cleaniless and accessibility. It is very well insulated (there is also heater and electric blankets) and has a well-equipped kitchen. We entertained ourselves with board games (they have plenty) and Netflix in the cold winter night. Overall, the space is stunning!
