The apartment is located within a 12 minute walk to a major shopping area so, depending on your needs, you may not need a car: walk to the stores with your bags, do your shopping, and then call an Uber/Lyft for $5 back.
The location of the apartment is such that it has quite an open view yet it is somewhat off a major street so it is rather quiet.
I enjoyed my 9 week stay there very much.
