Our stay was great for my family of 5. We wanted a place close to Universal Studios & it was about a 10-15 minute drive there. During the day the street is busy from normal traffic & you can hear the planes from the airport nearby but the noise is not bothersome. At night it is quiet. Parking is on the street. We were able to park either in front of the apt. or close to it. The AC in the living room is a little loud but it does cool the apt. very well.
