This was a useful base from which to explore Washington. There are trams and buses running down H Street and a nearby subway for the red line. The wifi was great and the host was very communicative, responding promptly to emails. The flat is below ground level, so isn't going to be bathed in light during the day, but I was out of the room most of the time so this didn't bother me. There is a back door that opens on to a shared yard and it was nice to be able to sit outside there one evening. The kitchen is small and not designed to be used for much more than making a cup of coffee or having a bowl of cereal. Good hot water in the shower - no plug for the bath. Great to have everything like shampoo and body wash provided. The best coffee shop nearby was the Wydown in the Apollo - great artisan coffee and pastries.
