Elliott and Brian have been great hosts. The apartment is spacious and private. I am personally very sensitive to noise so you can trust me when I write that the place is extremely quiet. And the plus is that you are, at the same time, extremely central in the city, walking distance to many outdoor parks, like the Arboretum or Discovery Park. Also, if you want restaurants or shopping just walk on 15th itself, (Elliott and Brian can suggest good places) or Broadway and Pine. We liked so much that we extended out stay.
