It feels very private. Has everything you need. Washer and Dryer are very convenient. We never know what kind of weather to expect, so it's nice to be able to throw some clothes in the wash that you want to wear again. Local grocery store is convenient and kitchen is supplied to cook at home. Cheryl responds quickly. It is above a garage, so you can hear the garage door. This is the second time staying there, so we haven't found it to be an issue. The door opening and closing is minimal, and during waking hours.
