Johns place is a nice home on a residential street! The home itself was lovely, the appliances, heat and wifi worked. We could t figure out how to work the fireplace, that wound be nice for a little note in the check in instructions on how to work it!
The upside and the downside was the location. While it was very convenient to Howard university where we were staying, it is also the first home neighboring a housing development and the path to that development is right next to the house. Anyone walking to the development walks next to the windows, and some people loitered there at night disturbing sleep. One of the housing units behind Johns home was completely boarded up and one night an alarm rang at 2am outside we believe it may have been from that building. There were also helicopters circling on two nights during our stay.
It’s totally a cute place! You just have to be prepared that due to the location there may be some ruckus. We may have just been unlucky that week!
