I was comfortable staying at Barbara's. The good reviews helped me decide on staying here. It is a 10 min walk from the Metro. The bedroom was clean and well maintained. I felt comfortable sleeping in the bed. I will echo one reviewer's comment about the Sunrise room, which is that there is a street light that shines very brightly in the room throughout the night. The window treatments did not block the street light. Also, I am very particular about bathrooms and I was disappointed that the bathroom was not cleaned at all during my 4 day stay, although other guests had checked in and out while I was there. The bathroom was not cleaned in between guests. Given that a $12 cleaning fee was applied, I would expect the bathroom to be cleaned regularly, if not daily, at least in between guests. All in all, it was a nice place to stay and I'd recommend it to others.
