The apartment was exactly as described. We got lucky and got a free parking space right in front of the building. We aren’t used to big city sounds and felt like things were pretty loud, but I don’t think it was anything out of the ordinary for the area. There aren’t any curtains in the apartment and we did find the lights from outside made it somewhat difficult for sleeping. If you’re planning to cook your own food, bring basics with you, there are some things in the cupboard, but it seems like they’re just items left from previous folks.
