This place was right near all the amenities you need, from easy access to the A/C to get uptown and great food options down the street. The Dekalb Market is a bit of a walk, but well worth it! It's a generally quiet street, although would recommend a sound/white noise machine. The nearby schoolyard noise doesn't really kick up until well into the morning, but even then it's pretty idle chatter you won't really hear. I personally felt quite safe walking to/from the apartment in the late hours of the day - there seems to always be several other people walking around at all hours.
If you're debating between a hotel and this airbnb listing, I'd go with this listing! You'll get way more room, and the food down the street is lightyears ahead of what you'll get from a hotel, microwaved breakfast!
