The location for this spot can’t be beat. It was a bit of a tight squeeze for our family of four and small pup, especially with so much rain the week we were in town. But the location made up for it. Plus the spot is well appointed and my daughter didn’t mind sleeping on the couch. With the extra sheets we made it up like a bed and it was fine. You can definitely hear your neighbors since as other point out, it’s a tri-plex type of set up common to the area but it wasn’t anything that bothered us. Hopefully we didn’t bother others either.
