The apartment is spacious and just as the pictures show. The beds are very comfortable. Kyle is very responsive. Although the street is a bit busy at times, there is no traffic noise inside the apartment. As others have said, you’re in a basement and there is noise from upstairs – mostly walking and running noises, dog barking. It was quiet during sleeping hours. It is well lit with flood lights, but very little natural light. We were here for Thanksgiving and preparing a meal to share with our kids who live in Portland. There was plenty of seating for dining and relaxing on sofas to play games and watch a movie. The unit has a full kitchen but there is limited counter space for preparing a larger meal and not as well equipped as units of this size that we have stayed in for other holidays. That said, I’m sure it’s fine if that is not your intention and only plan to make simple meals.
