We very much enjoyed our stay! The furniture was comfy and the house is only a short walking distance from the Metro (and Starbucks and donuts), which was exactly what we needed on Marine Corps Marathon weekend. You do hear some city living sounds but it sits on more of a side road than a main road - the noise wasn't a negative for us and we have a toddler. On that note, our room was large enough that a pack n play fit nicely, if that is important to you. We had a lovely time and would stay at Stephen and Djana's place again!
