As many people have mentioned, the location is great! Yes, it's lively and maybe a bit noisy in the summer when the windows are open but we found it to be just fine. It was very nice to have the subway stop right outside our door, there are lots of grocery stores near by and it always felt very safe--it's an urban area but that just meant you go could out at any time and it felt nicely bustling. Beds are very comfortable. Host was extremely responsive when we had a question and even helped us schedule a ride to the airport. Good central-ish location made it easy to get everywhere we wanted to visit.
