Richard was very friendly and had everything in the upstairs apt labeled :) You do have to walk through his living room to get to the upstairs quarters, so if that would make you feel awkward, then think twice about this place.
The house is on a quiet street, however it is near a route to Vanderbilt Hospital, so sirens passing wail through the night. Not enough to be uberly annoying, but noticeable. I thought I was in a bad neighborhood at first! Haha we did walk the short walk to Hillsboro, it's about 3 blocks or so of shops/eatery, so if you plan on going into town after your visit there then just drive. We walked and realized walking elsewhere in the cold just wasn't going to happen so we walked back to the house to collect the car.
I would stay here again, nicely located and only an $8 uber/lyft ride to downtown honky tonk bars.
