Barry’s place is in a wonderful location and Barry is a good host. I would have loved to be able to give him 5 stars but the bed was a problem and I noticed that an earlier review also commented on the fact that the slats kept falling out, a real pain. I let Barry know that it was a problem for us and I’m confident that he’ll fix it for future guests. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and absolutely loved the location and neighborhood and closeness to the Mall, good restaurants, Eastern Market on weekends and the Eastern Market Metro. The place could use a bit if freshening up but we enjoyed the good kitchen, decent shower, good heat on cool nights, and a responsive and communicative host. Even the footsteps above, 8am piano practice and loud furnace didn’t bother us but if you’re sensitive to noise, you may want to be aware of that. The positives far outweighed the negatives and we would stay here again.
