Loved staying at Starbuck and Rachel's place for many reasons. I did hear them walking above occasionally but it was far from obnoxious and I'm pretty sensitive. Didn't bother me though and they let me know this might be the case ahead of time. Spent a little time in the hammock in the backyard, which was bliss and they were absolutely wonderful hosts in every way. Loved sitting on the couch streaming videos and drawing on my iPad and as many noted it's very spacious and comfy.
