To reiterate, the apartment is in the basement so yes you will hear the people above you - never an issue for us. Yes, the apartment is on a street and near the airport so you may occasionally have street noise or hear a plane - again, never an issue. Parking was easy. Firm beds are not my preference, but we slept very well. The place is nicely equipped, comfortable and perfect for a couple of days while visiting the area. Janet was VERY responsive and kind enough to leave a couple of Gatorades since she knew we were in town to see our son play collegiate baseball. Very nice touch! Would recommend and/or stay again.
