Check in was super easy. Host is a great communicator with rapid response. Separate outside entrance only 3 steps down (this is not a basement). Bed super comfortable-lots of pillows. Room and bathroom are clean, shower awesome. Linens pristine and towels fresh. Neighborhood is quiet (I always use a fan to deaden ambient noise while I sleep anyway, but all was quiet ). Small fridge and sink in-room are nice touches, plus Wifi and Netflix...I didn't want for a thing. Restaurants-a-plenty nearby, and metro. Short walk to Capitol and all National Mall attractions. Ample room - I even brought my bicycle. Highly recommend for up to 2 people (sharing a bed) and dining out.
