The apartment was very clean and neat. Like others have said, it's on the train line, but after a day we hardly noticed it. The neighborhood is quiet and walking distance convenient to the subway, restaurants, and shops (including groceries). There's a little upstairs noise from time to time, all very typical of apartment living, and nothing that bothered us or kept us up. Parking could be rough, but we were offered use of the driveway. Unfortunately our rental car was a little too big, but we appreciated the offer!
