I stayed for 3 nights as a lone traveller. Laura and Steve were amazing! The room is exactly like the pictures - clean and private! Laura was very accommodating, she even dropped me to the station the first 2 days I was there and lent me her metro card. She was responsive and very helpful - giving me maps as this was my first time in DC! It is easy to get into the main part of the city, about 30 minutes from the main sites and monuments.
