I had a great experience staying at Joel's studio and cannot recommend it enough. The location is ideal -- a short walk to the metro, Whole Foods, and a host of other restaurants and bars. I actually did not take the metro the entire time I was there except to get to the airport because many touristy things I wanted to see were within an hour stroll.

Joel is an all around great guy and a gracious host. We really enjoyed getting to know him. He was extremely responsive to any issues and questions that we had. The studio itself is very well equipped and we were very comfortable there. The bed has a foam mattress and the area gets a good amount of light. The TV is equipped so that we could access Netflix, Hulu Plus, and a host of other amenities.

Between the host, the location, and the amenities, I highly recommend booking with Joel for your next DC trip.
