This makes a great landing spot, private and tucked away, for travelers who still want to be close to diversions and public transportation. Even though it backs up on an alley, noise (during a three-night mid-week stay) was rarely a problem. The two (small) bedrooms are well separated by the bathroom, and the living area has big west-facing windows that let in plenty of daylight, despite the back-of-the-yard location. Ben got right back to us whenever we had questions.
