This is a great value place to stay in DC. Great location in a quiet neighbourhood but only short, 5 block, walk to two metro stations. the cloRoss is a super host who will chat or leave you in peace. He provided thoughtful touches including breakfast items and had coffee ready to go. The basement apartment is spacious but if you ate very tall like me you need to duck to avoid the heating overhead. there is sdome noise from upstairs but it didn't bother me.
