The apartment was very comfortable for our family of four--two parents and two school age kids. The kids each were able to sleep in separate rooms, which was a nice perk for a city-sized apartment. There was typical city noise in the apartment, including a dog barking upstairs, but the neighbors are respectful and quiet at night. We loved the neighborhood with lots of great coffee shops, markets, restaurants and the bus takes you straight downtown. Overall, it is a great place to stay!
