Quiet for a good night's sleep. Host responded quickly to our request for additional towels (we stayed five nights).Was comfortable for two guests to sleep, do homework, cook dinner, watch movies and take hot showers. Agree, not recommended for young children because of the staircase which is central to the living room. Lyft to the Capitol averaged $5 and 15 minutes one way, which is excellent. No need to rent a car. Comfortable in early spring, has central heating. Unsure if it has air conditioning. High speed wifi, Xbox 360 and blueray player allowed us to Redbox and hook-up our own netflix during our stay. 3 twin beds and 1 full size bed. One of the twins is a box spring and mattress on the floor with detached headboard, the host may have improved it with a frame by the time you read this. Kitchen includes pots/pans/plates/silverware/cups. Not a pizza cutter though:) I couldn't get the oven door to close which made it very hot to the touch. Refrig didn't get cold, I've shared these concerns with the host so they may not be an issue now.
