This condo is convenient to downtown, but does get a lot of traffic noise from Biltmore Ave. Fortunately, when the deck doors are shut, the noise is minimal. It seems well insulated. It was immaculately clean and ultra-luxurious. The thermostat is confusing - a user guide would be welcome. Amenities and appliances are top-shelf! Wonderful bathrooms! The deck is spacious - the traffic is a small price to pay for being so close to all the downtown action. We had a great time!
