The airbnb is pretty close to the subway. We met their dog- super nice dog. Both David and Janet gave us a warm welcome when we arrived. The airbnb is clean. It can get noisy on the street at night (this may be because it was close to the 4th of July, or maybe it is noisy only on the weekends during the summer- as you will see most people on here did not mention this in their airbnb reviews). The hosts do provide ear plugs and a white noise machine (it has other sound options like the ocean) and that really helps to block out the noise.
