Patrick's place is clean, neatly furnished and very comfortable. If you are going to DC and need to be in the Howard Univ, Shaw or Bloomingdale neighborhoods it is perfect. If you Uber or don't mind a short walk to the Metro it is an all around great place for a DC visit. We stayed with Patrick to visit our daughter who lived nearby. We also were there for the Cherry Blossom Festival. It was a great and appreciated refuge from the crowds.
