The location for this apartment is perfect, one block from the Constitution plaza and surrounded by great bars and restaurants. Even with all of the windows closed, you can still hear some street noise, but it's not too loud. When we were there, there was a 10 pm curfew so we're not sure how loud it would be under normal circumstances at night. The reason we gave 4 stars is because the beds were very firm which made it difficult for us to sleep well. Otherwise, the apartment was beautifully decorated and had a great set-up in the kitchen. We cooked several meals there and we had all of the pots, pans, plates, etc. that we needed.
