We visited for a 5-day visit to see the sights at our nation's capital. The directions to the ERA Loft were perfect. Easy to find and convenient. If you fly into to DCA, you can be at the ERA loft within 30 minutes of landing by taking the yellow metro. The loft is about a 7 minute walk to the Metro station and 3 minutes to a Capital Bikeshare rack. Lots of good places to eat within a short walk. The grocery store is moderate walk/short bike ride. The place looks exactly like the photos. All the comforts of home in a small package. High speed internet and HD Television worked perfectly. There are even USB chargers built into the wall outlets upstairs and downstairs. Ethan checked in on us by text a couple times, just to make sure everything was working. We would recommend staying here as long as you are physically able to climb the ladder to the loft. I am recovering from some foot problems, so the ladder was a minor challenge, but manageable. Ethan was a great host.
