Russell's home is off the street, so there is no street noise at all. We loved being able to walk to the zoo (about a 30 min walk) and visit nearby cafes and restaurants. The bed is the most comfy airbnb bed ever! And Russell's great taste and decor made it feel like an upscale place to stay. There's a small fridge and microwave in the room. A beautifully equipped private bathroom. His dog is sweet and very quiet. There's a little bit of household noise, but absolutely no street noise. Sweet courtyard. We'd come back!
