The room is clean,. The bed is a bit soft but confortable for me. Had slept welll if it had not been been the noise coming on and off from the planes taking off or landing till late or starting soon in the morning - it's the reality of Washington Dc- and , as Caorle told me, you get used to it. She provides for this purpose ears plugs. . The vent helps me to cool down the air in my bedroom for my first night, it had just rained and this night it was humid. No odor. View form me room on a tree. Had the possibility to leave in the kitchen and fridge some fruits and yogurts. Very charming neighourhood. A treat to walk down the morning the steep road leading to the main road. To get there from the airport Dulles, takes the bus 5a, stop at Rosselyn/Moore st. At the corner of this street take the Circulator ( I don't remember the color of the line). - it's a walk of 2-3 minutes. If you don't mind to walk, get off this bus at the 35 th street after crossing the Key bridge with the Circulator, then climb the road or take an other bus. I know there is a bus climbing the Wisconsin street which is beside the 33th. It brings you to Save Way ( a grocery store) and close to a famous restaurant, Divan. Also, the bus D2, D6, stop on the corner of the 35Th and Dent Place,: the street of Carole's location. I have taken it from her location.. This bus, if I remember well goes up to Metro Center and Farragut. From there you can take many metros and easily have access to the National Mall (where are most of the attractions ). Even though Carole's location is a bit far from the center, I highly recommend this charming location. Was the best choice I could have done. Thank you again Carole.
