What a wonderful place! You'll love the location, the artwork on display, and feel at "home" staying here. The area is very walkable and has easy access to the streetcar, or an easy ride with Uber or Lyft. You do share a wall with another unit, so you'll hear movement up and down the stairs. Other than that, there were no other incidents of sound carrying. Communication was stellar and you'll find many suggestions for dining and activities. I hope to return!
