This condo was the perfect location for us because we had a rental car to go on hikes and trips farther out from the city, and we could easily walk to downtown. The only downside is that there is no curtain over the main middle window/doors in the bedroom and there is a lot of noise at night. There seem to be two clubs across a few streets that start getting noisy at about 11pm and don't get quiet again until about 3am. if you are a heavy sleeper it should be no problem, but if you are a light sleeper it might be something to keep in mind. The front door being open to a hallway is actually a benefit, in my opinion, as the hallway blocks the noise from the freeway behind the building. Overall it was great to have a parking space included, and to be so close to downtown.
