Bright, spacious and clean. Easy access to different areas of the city but not an area that invites walking as much. We were there over a weekend and had no parking issues at all. The highway will be louder than you think but with use of fans to help mitigate the noise (and she has fresh stock of earplugs if you'd like) - it wasn't a big problem. It's a second floor apartment with lots of light and sunshine - so if it's warm out follow her instructions to keep things cool.
