Matt's place is in a great location. We were able to walk or bike to almost anywhere we wanted to go including the Midway museum and the ballpark. We could have biked to balboa park and the zoo if we had wanted to as well. Great restaurants and bars just a couple blocks away. The building was quiet however the trolley on the street in front of the building is extremely loud. It served as white noise to us so we weren't bothered but earplugs were provided just in case.
