Yes, the place is across the street from a laundry mat, but everyone was quiet and respectful, except for a few hours on Sunday when someone thought everyone should hear their favorite song. Otherwise, it was peaceful and quiet. We felt safe and it was very cozy. It was really neat to stay in an old mansion with the extremely high ceilings and beautiful fireplaces, with all the modern amenities. We had great, safe parking on the street. There was always a spot for us right in front of the house. Neighborhood cat watched out for us.
