The upper loft is in a quiet neighborhood. Parking on the road in front of unit was without any probles. Two window AC units (bedroom and living room) kept the place cool for the summer. A long staircase leads to upstair unit so plan accordingly if you have a lot of belongings or are not as able physically. If you are light sensitive at night, you will need a sleep mask since the curtains are sheer. We left the light above the stove on to help guide us at night to the bathroom, which was on the opposite side of the unit from the bedroom.
