Phil's place has honestly turned out to be much more than I expected! The house is exactly as shown in the pictures and the location is great. It is 5 minutes walking distance to the restaurants and bars in H street where you can also find wholefoods and giant stores for all your needs. The union metro station is 10-15 minutes walking distance. The room I stayed in was very clean with a very comfortable mattress and an adjoining bathroom. There is a lot of space that can easily accommodate long term stays like mine.
Phil is an amazing host and always helpful with great tips. He was also a great company for nice chats when he is home. He really respected my privacy throughout my stay but he was also very warm and friendly. I definitely recommend Phil's place and Phil as a host!
