Loved the location and view! Yes, you are close to the airport and can see the planes take off and land and we loved it. Had no issues with the sound, didn't wake us at night. Really close to the zoo, Little Italy, Old Town, etc. I don't think we traveled more than 15 min to get to numerous places nearby to visit and eat. Super comfortable beds. Nice that the hosts left a few breakfast bars and chocolates upon arrival and really great that ice was made/in the freezer. Kitchen looked fully stocked with appliance and dishes but we didn't go on vacation to cook for ourselves - too many fantastic restaurants to try in SD!
