Great location! The city noise is not nearly as bad as some other people said. The garbage does get picked up every morning around 5am, but it only last a few minutes. The room was a bit bigger than we thought it would be and the balcony was a wonderful addition! The water pressure in the shower is very poor, but that might be the norm for the city. The doors leading to the balcony stick but definitely opened. The TV only works with your phone casting and was not consistent.
