Kendall was a great host. The place was in a great location, only about 3/4 mile walk from breweries in South slope! The noise from above tenants and the water heater were a bit louder than we anticipated. The hot water heater whirring sounds like someone is vacuuming in the room above - not loud if you're awake but will probably have wake you if you're a lighter sleeper. But for the location and price, you can't beat it - whirring and all.
