The apartment looked EXACTLY the way it is shown in the pictures. It was very clean and nice and my mother, who is the harshest critic of cleanliness, was perfectly content. . And even though it is very close to I-5, you cannot hear the traffic. The only issue we had was the upstairs neighbors who played loud music until 12:30 AM on Friday and Saturday night-- that being said, it was the weekend. During the week, there was not a noise issue. Overall, I would definitely stay here again.
