The Joy house is in a fantastic location! We loved being able to walk right out into the busy streets. That being said, even though it’s on a busy street, the noise was no problem at night time. The windows do a great job blocking out the sound. Our only issue was the lack of A/C...it wasn’t really something we checked when looking at the listing and being there in July with no A/C was quite hot...there are fans in the bedrooms which helps a bit but since we closed the windows to block out sound, we felt like the fans didn’t quite cut it.
