Rafael place is very simple cozy and its really okay for short stay, we were there for one night check in is easy the view from the window really great & beautiful, its very close to U station, groceries and shopping area, we like to cook so we were disappointed to see the only pot there is burned from the inside also the kittle to warm water for tea was burn inside, no microwave but we managed with the top stow, the bed frame from wood is not comfortable and the mattress is very soft so you kind of sink a bit and its hard to sit on the bed, at night there is a lot of noise from outside because of the u station near by and when we enter to the floor to seek for the room door, there was heavy smoking smell in the hall way.., in the room there was no smell and we opened the window for fresh air so it was okay - for traveler that doesn't care about the little details it can be a perfect place! and the price is reasonable and pretty cheap, we do recommend it in general :)
