Great location without question, Capitol Offers a unique slice of dc and this space is in the middle if it. Everything is in walking distance (food, coffee, bars, parks, sites) and the metro is a block away if you choose to go further. The english basement was perfect. I stayed solo and had no issue accessing with my own emtrance/key. It is completely private other than the live-in housekeeper who showers in the bathroom in the morning. But I never saw him and had late start times each day. I used the kitchen briefly, but was thankful to store water and small meals to avoid only eating out.
