Denise's place can be described accurately as "cozy." But everything necessary was there....The cable TV in my room had only about eight channels, but it had the basics. The part of town is my only quibble, but once you know (1) the bus schedule; (2) that being out at night isn't advisable in that particular neighborhood; and (3) the directions so the cabbies are confident (use Mapquest judiciously), it's just fine. The price was right, so as usual, life has its tradeoffs. It's quiet there, too, so I could sleep easily. Great to have the Metro card provided as well as useful maps!
