Andy and Jane's garden level apartment was a great place to stay for a solo traveler like me. I wasn't that interested in exploring downtown too much, so being closer to other neighborhoods by bus was great. I was mostly gone during the day, but when I was in the airbnb I didn't hear any street noise. Like other people said in their reviews, you can hear people walking around above you, and I heard some muffled voices from the airbnb that shares the wall. One thing to note is that if you have specific shampoo/soap needs, maybe bring your own. They offer a nice combo soap/body wash/shampoo in the shower that worked for me, but might not work with you. If I am back in Seattle I would stay here again.
