Location, location, location is the hallmark of this unit. And because of it you have a little noise from outside which really is minor. The commuter train passes within 500 feet from the house several times a day, but goes by so fast that is almost imperceptible. And I believe it does not run at night, at least we did not notice it. Upstairs neighbors are very noisy in the mornings. Parking is good and not inconvenient at all, JG will hand you a parking permit. It is a walking neighborhood and public transportation is nearby. The unit was very clean with just very few repairs needed that really do not make your visit uncomfortable. JG is great in communication and will work with you. A Keurig coffee maker offers fresh coffee fast and easy all day long. There is no dishwasher, if you care about things like that, we don't, so we are fine w/o it. Would recommend to friends.
