A well-designed little gem that's a 20 minute walk from Rock Creek Park and a 20-30 minute drive (depending on traffic) from downtown DC. It's a basement apartment with a family upstairs, so you do hear occasional noise, but nothing that is a dealbreaker. (Thoughtfully, a noise machine is provided in the bedroom.) The host was responsive and friendly. We enjoyed our stay and it was exactly what we needed as a homebase for sightseeing in D.C.
