There is plenty of street parking and the neighborhood is mostly quiet. If you are a light sleeper I would suggest some earplugs, but there is a small fan that drowned out most of the outdoor noise. The bed is extremely comfortable, firm but it cradles your back nicely. The shower has nice water pressure and heats quickly, but there is no true door on the front, so be prepared for some splashing out onto the floor. The blackout shades on the windows worked SO WELL, but here’s a tip...the small window above the front door doesn’t have any shade, but can be remedied by draping a towel on a hanger (there are several provided) and hooking the hanger on the top of the door frame - covers the little window perfectly and blocks the light! Sarah was very friendly and quick to respond with local tips and recommendations on where to eat. She checked in several times to make sure we were taken care of, couldn’t ask for a more considerate host!
