Absolutely would recommend this room to anyone. Denise was a very gracious host, she drove us to the station when we were leaving because she happened to be free and she lent us umbrellas when it was forecast to rain.
We mostly were sightseeing so we didn't spend a whole lot of time in the apartment, and as a result of this, there was no scheduling conflict when it came to using the bathroom.
The neighbourhood was full of lovely, friendly and helpful people. They were absolutely delightful. Everybody was so kind, even when the weather was rotten.
If you're interested in staying somewhere where you can be independent from your host, then this place is ideal. Of you don't like public transport then you might be better off with a hire car, but only because you have to catch a bus to get to the train station and if its cold, you don't want to be spending 45ish minutes getting to a location that is only a 15 minute drive away.
Anyway, I loved my time here and the next time I am in DC I'll be staying with Denise again!!!
