The hosts were considerate by communicating prior to our visit that the Rock 'n Roll Marathon would be happening, and that it might make driving inconvenient for us. It didn't impact us, however, because we were taking public transit vs. driving. That being said, the location was a bit farther from the metro stop than I would have liked (a 20 minute walk to Eastern Market, Stadium-Armory, or Union), especially after a long day of sightseeing and walking around the mall and museums. We often ended up taking a Lyft or Uber back to the airbnb. The D6 bus is very close and runs along C St NE, but it was pretty slow the 2x we took it. It was a very quiet, residential area, apart from the construction noise at the school across the street during their spring break and the deck being replaced on the apartment due to severe wind storms the week before our arrival. But both of those were coincidental and unlikely to be an issue for future visitors. The place is very cute and the beds were quite comfortable. (FYI: the bedroom with the king is super bright in the mornings--eastern sunlight streams in. The bedroom with the queen is nice and dark.) We loved the bluetooth, built-in sound system and built-in night light in the bathroom. The bedrooms are good-sized, while the kitchen/living area is very small and cozy. There is no real dining area and there was one couch just big enough for the 3 of us. The place needed a good dusting, which was problematic for my allergic niece. The keypad system of entry was very convenient. Lots of good restaurants in the area.
