Akosua provided all the regular amenities like soap, shampoo and tooth paste. She also included some snacks, drinks, tour info and coupons that you wouldn't expect.
The accommodations were just as described and met our needs. She was a pleasant host and checked in via message to make sure we were having a good time. She was very gracious to let us leave our luggage with her outside of check-in/check-out times so we could make our White House tour (no bags, no purses, no nothing allowed). Without her hospitality we would have missed that.
Akosua's street seemed fine but there is a rougher area off of Malcolm X when you exit the freeway. We chose to take Uber in and out of the city instead of walking to the train. Akosua did have discount coupons in the room that are good for two discounted Lyft rides.
DC is beautiful and we had a great time! I would avoid school morning rush times. Normally it took us 20-25 min by Uber but the first day of school was a crazy 55 min drive to D.C. Plan accordingly if you have an early tour.
