It was pretty amazing to stay in what is essentially a piece of art. Despite the historical importance, the home itself was really comfortable and clean, with everything you might need. The garage was a great convenience and driving downtown was not an issue (avoiding Uber/Lyft during the pandemic). It really felt like our own home while we were there. There are a wealth of food options nearby and we walked a couple blocks to get to the beach just because we could!
I think being mindful that this is still the city, so city noises are to be expected, but not any more than any other urban location.
