“This place strikes me as a decent base for exploring, especially given its walkable location to town amenities. However, potential noise issues from the road and shared spaces are things to consider. For a quick in-and-out trip focused on Yellowstone, it could work, but manage your expectations regarding soundproofing and potential service limitations.”
