This place is bare bones, but the price is right! Arturo was very responsive communication wise and gracious with a special request we had. We had to buy bath towels and kitchen utensils, so I would would check in with him and make sure of what is there. Sometimes these things go “missing” unbeknownst to the host!! It was about a $10 Uber ride to the National Mall and $2 bus ride. Spartan but served our needs!
