The neighborhood was quiet and pretty, we were easily able to find free street parking in the area. Easy to walk to restaurants, and grocery just around the corner. The walls are thick and we didn't hear any of the neighbors. The only reason I left off a star was in my review was due to how hot the apartment got at night, even with the small fans provided (which was great) and the windows open, the apartment just tended to hold in heat. Otherwise it was wonderful and Melissa was very nice.
