Located half a block from the subway- literally on the same block as the subway entrance, so it is extremely convenient for getting around. This room is located at the back of the apartment next to the backyard, and was fairly quiet for the most part with a little bit of street noise. They installed an air conditioner while I was there; but even before they did that it was 34°C/93°F outside one day and the room stayed fairly cool. I read on a previous review that there was no lock on the outside of the door, but when I arrived there was one installed, I felt safe about leaving my belongings. The other bedrooms are also occupied by AirBNB renters, so your mileage may vary on your stay, but everyone I met during my week there was polite and quiet.
