This was a perfect home base for our family of four (kids 7 and 5). The back bedroom overlooks a courtyard and is very quiet. The front has a little more street noise but not much, and you can't hear the neighbors unless they're throwing a raucous party (which they did one night, but that was all). Grocery stores were along the way from the tube, busses were right out front and it was a cute, safe, neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again.
