The location is amazing. Literally can walk anywhere. If not, metro stop a block away. Bus back to the airport also two blocks away. Shops and nightlife abound. Restaurants of all kinds available nearby. Can’t beat location. The window does open up to another home. You will likely hear a everything going with the family next door. But, why are you in the room anyways?!?!? Go out! The room almost feels like a separate apartment with it being off a hallway before you get to joe’s main living space.
