I had a little trouble at check-in, though it was a last-minute booking and the host was mid-flight so he did not get my messages for a couple of hours. This was a little frustrating but host was amenable to work something out. Once I got checked in, it was a great place to work and rest. There is a bit of stairs but the rooms are comfortable and a good size. Nothing fancy (my guess is most of it came from hotel furniture auctions) but clean and functional. The location is terrific, Mt Pleasant has lots of quality dining and casual bars, and it's a couple of blocks from Columbia Heights Metro.
