Such a perfect location practically on the C&O Canal and half a block from Baked & Wired. The apartment is small but gorgeous and immaculate - the photo doesn't lie. Nor do the other reviews about the AM noise. I think the reason we found this location and quality apartment affordable is because of the daily morning wake-up call from the alley under the windows. We were there Mon-Wed, and the crashing and scraping and banging started around 7AM and went on and off for an hour or two between trash pickup and loading trucks. We still enjoyed our stay - we just recommend it to people who sleep soundly or who are early risers. Otherwise, bring sleeping pills and earplugs! Also a note on parking: we could not find an in&out garage so we had to shell out $28 for each 24 hours and had to plan our car use carefully to avoid paying more. It wasn't impossible to find street parking though for the quick stops in between trips. Finally, we strongly recommend the nearby Levain Bakery on M Street for continental breakfast. Their Valrhona hot chocolate with a baguette was excellent.
