The room that we got was spacious. The place was pretty quiet overall except when folks would open and shut the door. Loved being able to boil water to make our own coffee. This area is very secure. It is close to the metro. Several restaurants around the corner to the right. There was a small little store to the left run by an a man who looked like he was from India. He understood us speaking English. We bought several waters, sodas, milk and bananas from him.
