Yannie is a super host.
Smart & pleasant Communicated clearly & quickly. Her apt was in a perfect Foggy Bottom spot -a short block from my GWU daughter’s dorm on ‘I’ (EYE) st.
Eating: Nearby food -CVS has anything u need. Whole foods $$$$is right there..I used WF to get soup, coffee etc later at night and use their wifi. Its open til 10pm. I was at Yannie’s 4days so I just bought some basic food/drink at CVS. There are many restaurants too, Panera, Starbx etc. Yannie’s kitchen has whatever basics u need to fix your food there. Stove, micro, fridge, hot pot for tea water.
Sofa bed is folded out flat. I found it very comfortable.
I controlled the heat for that main room.
When I arrived Yannie had crisp cleaning bedding on the foldout, bath towels and a pair of house flip flops waiting for me.
Being there is like living as a Grad student again. Its not perfectly clean, but v tidy and w one quick sweep etc itd be aok. It was fine for me. There were parents visiting GWU that stayed at the Ritz. Sure that’d be ok, but for MUCH less $, and much easier access, I now have a new friend in Foggy Bottom, I wrote a song there, (she has an acoustic guitar if u play!)
And I will def. stay there again.
Re:access & key, Yannie was home so the person at the front desk let me up to her floor. I liked that the bldg.outer door is locked. They buzz u in, or open the door. The people at the front desk were all cool. They all know Yannie and clearly are fans of heres. *the first Am i woke up there was a fire alarm, and we all walked the stairs (3short flights) to the lobby. DCFD came and quickly gave it the all-clear. So I met a lot of the tenants quhckly. The elevator was aok.
Laundry- coin operated in the basement. ✔️
Great location & value & hostess✔️
