This place is all about location. If you don't mind walking up to a mile, nearly everything is easy walking distance but you're far enough removed from the noise and party to enjoy the quiet. That said, Allison and her husband - while very nice - were doing sanding on the garage door (the apartment is off the garage), so that created a lot of unexpected noise for several days. Also, the futon isn't comfortable for sleeping, if you're looking for extra sleeping spots.
