Tom's place is really great in so many ways! The location is really ideal, close to all the things you could possibly want to do in DC and public transportation. There are many wonderful eateries within a comfy 1-2 mile walking radius. There is private fenced in yard if you travel with your four legged friends like I do, this is a big plus in an area where there are really no houses. Check-in was super easy and there is a full kitchen if you want to cook your own meals. If you don't cook at home then be sure to eat at Timber Pizza, it's a VERY memorable pizza experience with great local beers. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here but I will add one important note for my fellow audibly sensitive humans, this place has a lot of unique sounds. The first night took some acclimating. There's an air conditioning system that makes a distinctive almost frequency sound when it comes on, the roof is very thin and you can hear people walking, the cute little pitter patter of dog feet (no one minds this tho), and the sound of running water thru pipes. I grew up in the south and never stayed in a basement (or even been in one) before, it was really neat experience! Lastly fellow travelers, I was tentative about street parking but stayed a few days and never had a problem finding a spot. Would recommend and stay here again!
