Clean place, very easy check-in, Mike is responsive if need be, Howard University is next door. Bus stop or a 10 minute walk to Columbia Heights Station, which is very convenient. To go to the metro station you walk across a calm and safe residential area with very nice colorful houses. Bar, restaurants (I recommend the vegan one), deli, convenient store... next to Mike's place. Bathroom is shared but there are two of them so basically you never have to wait if you want to have a shower. I would totally come back.
