My fiancé and I came to D.C. for a wedding and loved staying at Ross' place. He made check in so easy, and his place is stocked with all sorts of thoughtful touches like breakfast foods, beer, snacks, coffee that was ready to brew at the touch of a button, and soaps, shampoos and extra toothpaste in the bathroom.
The location was perfect - right in the heart of U Street and Columbia Heights, and easily walkable to bars and restaurants in those neighborhoods.
Ross was an incredibly considerate host, and even let us keep our suitcases at his place after check out so we could enjoy a few extra hours with friends before heading to the airport. I'd highly recommend staying with Ross, and we're excited to come back someday!
