Susannah's apartment is lovely and really convenient for getting to the university East Bank and West Bank campuses and we were able to get around easily without a car. We took advantage of the light rail (green line), bus, and bike rentals that are all pretty much right there. It was very fast getting to the stadium/Mill Ruins area as well. If you will need to buy groceries, having a car is useful, as the shops in walking distance are more like convenience stores. There is street noise as it's a busy street/intersection, but the white noise machine that is provided helps a lot. We had everything we needed in the apartment, the check-in process was simple, and we were very comfortable during our stay.
