For the price it is worth it. Only concern is with the general cleanliness of the kitchen and bathroom which is fully dependent upon who is staying. I had to come across a few days where construction was taking place underneath which was definitely less than desirable at times. Overall mike is a great host that will make sure to get back to you expeditiously. If you have an aversion to shared spaces I would just consider that but overall it is a nice place in a very convenient location not far from Howard, U Street, and the Shaw /LeDroit park area
