Fantastic location for a show at the Hawthorne. Parking was easy, and we didnt feel unsafe parking there, nor walking the area at night. Couldnt hear the traffic at all with the windows closed. The mattress is very firm, so if that's your thing, it's great. The stairs are pretty loud, but didnt bother us much. Maybe a carpet runner for the stairs will help there, but I dont blame them for keeping them as original as possible; it's a lovely old home.
