We had a great stay in this sparkling clean studio apartment. Check in/check out was completely contactless. I downloaded the Sonder app for this stay and used it instead of the AirBnb app for instructions.
The neighborhood is nice. I felt safe staying there and even walking back at night. There are lots of restaurants on 8th between this location and the nearest metro. It’s a 15 minute walk to the metro, but the 90/92 bus runs up and down 8th with a stop right outside your door.
You are across the street from the Main Gate to the Navy Yard, so you will hear the national anthem at 0800 every morning. It’s not so loud that a heavy sleeper couldn’t snooze through it, but I enjoyed it for the week I was there.
The bed is firm, but comfortable. The water pressure is great, but the hot water doesn’t last forever. Because this location is run by a company as opposed to an individual, don’t expect the kitchen odds and ends that you find left by previous guests that you see at some stays like ziplock backs or travel community hot sauce. The kitchen was stocked, but more akin to a hotel kitchenette than a classic AirBnb.
If you’re looking for a hotel stay experience on a budget, this is the place.
