Everything people say about location is accurate. You'll be in the middle of everything. On the weekends it really starts to get bustling but I didn't think the noise was bad at all. The bedroom is towards the deeper end of the shotgun house and it has two large wooden sliding doors to create an extra sound barrier wall. If it's during festival season, simply turning on the little electric fan (low power is good enough) will cover up any street noise. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Virginia!
