Quiet hours are 10pm- 8a everyday except Friday and Saturday evenings are 11pm. The neighborhood is reasonably peaceful at night during the week. However, it is by no means a quiet suburban neighborhood! It is near a colorful, bustling downtown. You can hear the train from time to time, and on Fri/Sat evenings locals walk downtown or relax with music and friends.
Overnight guests are welcome from time to time but not for more than a few nights a month. Guest limitations are rigorously enforced because we aim for a tranquil, tidy place for people to stay and work.
