Great place to stay in DC if you want to be in walking distance to many good restaurants! Small and compact, yet with everything you would need (coffee maker, dishes/sink, microwave, mini fridge). Did not have any complaints regarding noise, although you are immediately adjacent to a fairly busy road. Shower takes a while to warm up as previous tenants have said, but I just turned on while I was making coffee. Also, please note the shower knob is backwards (as the C tries to explain)! Hot water is when you first turn on the knob. Would stay here again and recommend to friends!
