William's flat has a modern and open living room/dining room/kitchen area that was perfect for our needs (a family of three). The location was great for us, since it was close to all of the areas we were visiting and we had a great view of the 4th of July fireworks. As others have mentioned previously, you will hear the freeway noise, especially in the bedrooms, but that did not bother us. Just down the hill, there is a market, several good restaurants, and a bus line, so you do not need a car. If you do have one, there are designated parking spots next to the building and we did not have any issues.
