The building is close to shops and restaurants in the Mount Vernon area. The door has a smart lock, making check-in really easy (you will not need to pick up a key). While I never met the host, she was available by phone for any questions. I spend one night at the house during a weekend trip to visit friends who were staying in the neighborhood, and the place was perfect for this.
Two things to note:
- Bring earplugs. Sound from the ground-floor TV carries straight into the bedroom.
- During my stay, the lock to the bathroom would get stuck. The gap between the door and the jamb is wide enough to manipulate the latch with a card or similar, but be careful!
