Polly’s place is right on the canal and it’s lovely. It’s close to multiple bus stops and 10 mins from the Metro. Super convenient.
The room itself is very clean and big. The bed was so comfortable and she provides you with plenty of towels. I appreciated the closet space to hang my jackets.
Polly is a wonderful host - she was super helpful with whatever questions I had and was always willing to make sure I was comfortable.
Regarding the noises from outside. It’s a lively place, so yes, you’ll hear chatter and music especially over the weekend. But the windows subdued most of it. I’m a heavy sleeper who also needs white noise to fall asleep, so it didn’t bother me one bit. And on weekdays, it’s silent.
I had a great time and I’m glad I booked this spot. Plus, Dora her dog was the cutest who always wanted a petting :)
