Conveniently located for food & metro-- its a lively and lived-in neighbourhood and home-- comfortable in a way that allows the guests to kick back and relax. The hosts were away but they provided a friend who came over TWICE when we stupidly locked ourselves out...enjoyed running in Rock Creek Park and eating two blocks away at the hip & happening 11th street gourmet ghetto. Good place to cool and calm ourselves after the tourist madness of DC! Kitchen and bathroom are quite cosy but we managed to make it work with the four of us.
