The location cannot be beat. Literally across the street from Amsterdam Falafel, and down the street from Madam's Organ on one of the most lively streets in DC. Everything is very clean and comfortable with a lovely porch. Yes, there is a bit of noise at night from the alley especially on weekends, but it's what you get from living on a busy street. If you're a normal to heavy sleeper, it shouldn't be a problem.
