limited parking - need to take Uber to go downtown or else lose parking space and go a block away for pay parking. no air-conditioning & street noise - I mean you were using them for previous complementary ear plugs available as well as an electric fan.

It's a nice property, nice views. I wasn't a fan of the people around us and how noisy they were. It felt like we were staying in a parking lot.
