I needed an affordable place to rest after a long day of networking and attending a conference, and this was the place for that. It’s conveniently located within walking distance from a few bus stops, which is especially useful for anyone interested in getting around cheaply and like the locals -I think. Because my stay was short and spent most of my time conferencing, I was unable to explore the neighborhood and the apartment much, but having access to a small kitchen and the bathroom / toiletries was also really good. The heat and humidity creeped into the week/end and Margarita not only was quick to respond to messages, but she also was accommodating by turning the AC on.
The room I stayed in faces the rising sun so you will have access to natural light - may be a choice for the early risers. The floor boards do creak a bit - I like being light on my feet - and shared the space with another visitor who I don’t think was bothered by my footsteps. He was visiting from out of state for a folk music festival - very kind overall. In short, I enjoyed my time in DC and the opportunity to rest and clean up at the apartment. I would stay again in the future.
