This was my second stay at Barretts place in six months. Its in a super convenient location to restaurants, Whole Foods, the H St tram, CapitolShare Bicycles and walking to Capitol Hill. I always manage to find parking right in front of the apartment and Barrett provides a parking permit which is key if you're driving. You do hear the hosts upstairs but I always travel with ear plugs so not a deal breaker. Big plus is washer/dryer. The area itself is very quiet. The unit could use a little TLC from wear n' tear from guests, but all in all is a great place for a few nights. I would come back again.
