We loved the bed, the high ceilings, the towels, access to laundry, etc!!! The bus is super convenient and easy ($3 for all day and includes street car) & it stops right out front! Make sure you make the trek to Studio BE, pretty amazing...lots of local bars, etc to support and the living museum in the 9th Ward is just a quick bus ride away! The noise from trains is real, you're by a train yard type situation, so it's all day, several whistles per train. We managed fine in back bedroom, but I imagine if you're a light sleeper it would be tough!
