The house is located on a busy street and our unit was on the third floor front facing the street. There are also more remote units in the rear of the building that look very nice but I can't comment on the interior. Our unit had a small private patio and tall concrete wall that helps separate it from the street views and buffer the noise. It does quiet down later at night. This is and sounds like a bustling city. The room is small, not a suite, but has a smart, efficient layout and contemporary design that easily accommodates two people. The location is excellent (take an evening stroll around the hippodrome park). You enter past a parking court to what was originally the main court yard of the house but is now used as a circulation core. There are small tastefully landscaped areas outside of each entrance as you go up ending at a roof top patio that is a little eden. The house is unique and was a comfortable retreat from our explorations into the city. Thomas is an attentive host and a great source of information which he freely offers. What more could you ask for.
