Check in was easy and the host was quick to respond to questions. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans and the necessities for those who like to cook and the environmentally conscious who don't mind washing dishes. The house has high ceilings, ample sized bedrooms, and a private back yard with a table and chairs. It is the perfect location to visit DC's busy U street (bars, resturants, and music venues), but the street is still quiet and relaxing. I would definitely recommend.
