The location is the standout gem for this lodging. There are so many great shops and restaurants to divulge in during your stay. It is easily accessible to all transportation and we found it easy to get around. However, google maps is your best friend when commuting. Do not rely on the locals for assistance. Some are a little unfriendly, especially near the downtown area. I guess they are used to tourists and avoid communication at all levels lol. Now back to the lodging, I really wanted to give a 5, but unfortunately the comfort was lacking. The bed and "sofa bed" were extremely uncomfortable. Especially, after sightseeing and walking around DC all day. Both myself and
my friend are tall and thick, and the sofa, sofa bed and bed did not seem stable or supportive. Which, unfortunately lead to uneasiness and discomfort. Specifically, the bed you can actually feel the bed frames through the mattress. So, this was a major, major dissapointment. But, other than that everything else was fine. The basement apartment is immaculately clean and cozy. The keypad-entry door may be difficult at first to open then you'll get the hang of it. Leave the stair light on to avoid accidents at night lol. The fireplace is for esthetics and lastly, I was a little concerned with the checkout task list I was given 12 hrs prior to checkout. I felt like I was back in kindergarten (tone was a little demanding), but we followed orders respectfully and completed the tasks given. Hope this was helpful.
