I am a middle-aged single woman and stayed with Kenneth on a recent visit in April 2017. I could't be more pleased with my choice to stay at his house. While it is small, it is perfect for the single budget traveler or two people who don't mind separate rooms. The house is clean and I loved Kenneth's art collection, which includes many carvings and masks. The condo neighborhood is quiet and I never felt unsafe even when returning home late at night. Be aware that things are a bit vacant around the Metro stop at night. There is a lot of development going on in the neighborhood, but once that is finished and all the new apartment buildings are filled, the neighborhood will have lots more foot traffic at night. The condo is only 2 or 3 blocks from the Metro stop, so that is fantastic.
Kenneth is very communicative, easy to get ahold of if you need him, and his place is just as advertised. Nothing fancy, but good quality. My bed was comfortable. The house was a little warm for my taste, but there is a tower fan in the room and I was never uncomfortable. The room has a TV with remote, fresh bath linens, water, maps, etc. Nice little touches. The space is a little small and tight, so if you are a really, really big person, you might find the shower awkward. For me, though, the place and the price was perfect. As soon as I arrived, Kenneth oriented me to the nabehood, gave me great tips about getting around, and showed me everything I needed to know about the condo. I was on my own within minutes. I highly recommend.
