Abenaa's place is a gem. It looks brand spanking new. New flooring, freshly painted walls, new windows, trim, recessed lighting and a beautiful (small) bathroom with a big marble shower and a big fancy resort style showerhead. The shower even has built-in seating (in case you have a spectator!). There is a huge big screen TV, but who comes to DC to watch TV, I liked the side table with all the different brochures of the different museums, sites and attractions.
The location was perfect in terms of public transportation. There is a bus literally outside the front door, another one a few blocks down near the Wendy's (that one goes down to the iconic U Street area and might run all night - I took it "home" at 2:30 am!) and the Metro (subway) is an easy walk just beyond the Wendy's and that train goes to all sorts of great places. The house is at the corner of 2 beautiful tree-lined streets.
