This place is in a great, very walkable location. It's on the second floor up a steep tight stair case so if you have accessibility needs or have to carry very heavy things you've been warned. The apartment is very spacious and has huge tall ceilings. It's filled with fun art and has a roof-top balcony off the kitchen we spent a ton of time on. The bed is smaller than a queen but comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook some small meals. The dishwasher wasn't hooked up though sadly. When it comes to noise we didn't notice anything from the street but we did notice a ton from two other place you should be aware of. First is the train. Almost every 15-30min the train blows it's horn a million times off in the distance. The second is the apartment across the hallway (probably the owners) have a small child and we could hear it running and screaming at times.
