Matt and Patricia were great hosts, very responsive. The apartment was very clean but the building did have a funny smell. I was prepared for and not worried about the noise of the train (was infrequent and I like the sound of trains) and the construction noise (I was planning on getting up at 7 each day). What I wasn't prepared for was the additional noise due to the walls being very thin. The person above me woke up at 4am twice and paced/clomped around very loudly for two hours. Another person on my floor arrived home between 1am and 2am twice, talking very loudly. Daytime was nice and quiet though!
