This is right on 18th Street, which I like. There would normally be some noise, but I like that there is a lot of street life. Plenty of places to eat/drink right at hand, and several music venues right in the same block. It's a great location, and the windows provide a lot of pleasant light. It's not fancy, but quite adequate, clean and roomy, high ceilings. Be aware it's two flights up (one longer flight), then a shorter flight) but that wasn't an issue for us. I called Lea on two occasions, once just to confirm checking in, and found her very accessible and pleasant.
