If you're choosing to live downtown, there are always going to be noises and community around the area that are different from a neighborhood. Avoid staying in certain units here though. Specifically the ones that have plumbing pipes on the ceiling. Due to the "industrial design" of the property, everything is open ceiling and plumbing pipes line a lot of the ceilings of the units.

Its literally built in skid row. The trolley thunders past the building every 15 minutes from 4:30 am until 1:30 am.
