They are definitely worse at dusk. During the day, I wasn't too bothered. Didn't mean to sound like a downer, but just wanted to make clear there is absolutely nothing else to do there - no town, no nothing, but thank God for IPods!! With them being 16, I wouldn't hold to the adjoining rooms thing - especially if not on every floor - next door is just fine for us onc eours turned 10 - no unlocked door for kids to come crashing through...
