Downstairs wasn’t too bad but upstairs was not good. I used professional ear plugs when sleeping. It took my husband buying some Apple ear phones to be able to sleep. Outside back yard was sooo loud.Better insulated windows would help. The noise is the only reason I would not rent again ##### Lisa L. Stayed 60 nights in Jan 2025 ---
