This place is outstanding! The hosts are quick to respond and very helpful. The metro is only a couple blocks away and the value of the unit makes it worth staying outside the heart of the city and take transportation in. There are several restaurants and shopping very close by. We walked to chick-fil-A and a local Mexican place, El Tio Tex-Mex Grill, while we were there visiting. That Mexican place has a happy hour and outdoor seating. There is also a Chipotle, Starbucks and Target very close. We loved the little touches, like ground coffee in the fridge, and all types of books about DC. It was so nice having both a bedroom and separate living room. We had some jet lag once we arrived so it was nice to pull down the blackout shades and get some rest. The place was very clean and stylish, it looked better than the photos! The unit is in the basement so we did hear their dog running around upstairs late at night, but they provide ear plugs if that is something that might impair your sleep at all. It was nice to have a separate entry away from the rest of the house and both a keyless entry and alarm system for added security. We would definitely stay here again.
