The space is a loft built above a main house, you can hear the family’s tv, coughing, etc. so I’m sure they could hear everything we were doing, however there was no complaint abt noise. To get to the loft you have to climb steep stairs that aren’t well lit. There is no kitchen which was known going in to the stay but I highly recommend bringing a cooler if you think you might need ice! The open aired concept was so fun for a girls trip and the neighborhood felt safe and secure. The courtyard is perfect for pictures but it is shared with the family. Parked my car on the street the whole stay and it worked out fine!
