This was a great place to stay with a large family. Plenty of room, no frills but clean and very comfortable. The neighborhood seem a bit sketchy at first but once we walked around we realized it was surrounded with upscale condos and plenty of young professionals. The walk to the nearest Metro stop was only 10 minutes away and a Safeway with a Starbucks was just 5 minutes down the street. We even walked to the Capitol building on our second day and it only took about a half hour. Nice easy walk along safe streets. The two blow-up mattresses that Alex provided were a must for a large group. Two parking spaces right outside the back door was also plus. Alex is a great host and made lour stay simple. Certainly a nice find in the DC area.
