Very convenient location! The neighborhood and area felt safe, and the bus stop and entrance to metro rails is only a 10 minute walk! As well as the grocery store Ralph’s. It has a private entrance. A heads up would be when closing the gate, you need to take out the handle in the bottom ground in order for it to close well then put it back (nothing hard). Also, DO NOT leave food anywhere near the door even if it’s in a bag!! Keep in mind this is a private room so you can still hear next door but Howard was great even enjoyed hearing someone playing the guitar! Would definitely recommend. Bed was comfy as well.
