Mike's place is a great spot in DC. I stayed in a single bedroom in a house that had been divided into private bedrooms and shared bathrooms (2.5 bath) and kitchen. It was ideally located near Howard University. The room had a nice desk which was really useful for being able to work from "home". Mike's place is located in the middle of good food and a couple really great coffee shops. It seemed to be about a 10 or 15 minute lyft from anywhere I wanted to go in the city. Mike partially owns a bar downstairs. He provides earplugs which were helpful because I was there over the weekend for a conference - which meant I wasn't really able to partake in the fun. During the week, this wouldn't really be a problem because the place is only open from 5pm - 12am. I had a few beers in the bar over my stay and it was a great spot to hang out. I recommend this for a single person travelling for business or visiting friends or for a couple who is interested in partaking in DC nightlife.
