I wish I could give Carolyn's place 5 stars, for there is a lot to like about it. The English basement apartment is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and filled with nice touches (e.g., cookies and crackers and a bottle of "Two-Buck Chuck"). The location is also delightful, on a lovely street in the heart of the Capitol Hill/Eastern Market neighborhood, within a short walk from shops and cafes and restaurants. The one significant problem is that the place is loud ... very loud. In fairness, some of the reviews mentioned this, so it wasn't entirely a surprise ... but it was very loud. Again, in fairness, the noise was mainly from children and pets, so wasn't a problem later in the evening. But during the afternoon, it was impossible to relax, nap, or even work for the constant running, crashes, items dropped on the hardwood floor upstairs (not to mention someone practicing guitar).
