The neighborhood is great. Several places to eat and shop within walking distance. Less than a block from a train station. The train line does run right behind the building. To me it sounded no louder than thunder and did not bother me at all, but a light very light sleeper may have issues. The unit is on the bottom floor, so that probably helps with the sound. The place was very clean. The one time I needed assistance, Justin responded very quickly. It's a little chilly. Bring a sweater. I will definitely stay there again.
