Great location. Plenty of room! We spent most of the time exploring the town so we barely noticed the airplanes above. The host was incredibly kind and accommodating. This place was a steal and central to all the best sights!

Its very close to little Italy, which was nice. But it should be mentioned that you are right across the street from a fire station and the noise from the freeway and airplanes flying over might be little overwhelming.

Very clean. Great location. Walkable to Little Italy/waterfront park. Convenient street parking. As mentioned in other reviews, the freeway noise is very loud. Pack your earplugs if you want to sleep a little more soundly ᵕ

Clean open space, family friendly!
Nice open living space. Clean linens and kitchen. Great space for a family!
The home is close to the airport and freeway, and you can hear traffic, but it wasn't an issue as all. The kids loved watching the planes land.

Loud house that’s great for a group
My whole party loved the place, but any light sleeper should be wary as this is one noisy spot. Gaze out the front door at I5, look up and see that you’re directly under the flight path. Some triple pane windows help, but it’s still v loud.
Aside from that, the place is wonderful. A quick jaunt to the commercial strip of Little Italy, easy freeway access, and pretty easy to find parking.
