This was a great place to stay with our family - cozy and private, perfectly clean, and on a quiet street near a park with a playground where we could take our older son while our younger son napped. It was also walking distance to Chinatown, Science World, restaurants, and more, and we really enjoyed being able to walk through the neighborhood (or scooter, in our older son's case) to get places rather than always take the car. Yes, you will probably here the pitter patter of little feet occasionally from above, but the noise wasn't very frequent or very loud. Since we have kids who wake somewhat early, it was never an issue for us, and I don't think it would bother many people unless you are a particularly light sleeper.
