Noise is really the main complaint with the small bedroom (although the larger bedroom is next to it so probably the same issue). With the window open, even slightly, you hear car traffic the loudest between 6-8am of course. However, more problematic is the homeless shelter outside. The individuals are screaming all night loud. I mean screaming. They stop screaming around 1am, but there are always a few throughout the night that scream and wake you up. Now of course, if you are a heavy sleeper maybe you can sleep through this. If you close the window is muffles the noise somewhat, but then the room gets stuffy and its hard to breath so you don’t sleep well.
If not for the noise, which means very poor sleep, I would highly recommend the place. The host is great, location is great, value and so on. If you don’t care about sleeping and/or don’t need much sleep then this is the place for you.
