Noel was a warm and gracious host. The room was simple and offered all the essentials, plus a little beverage station with electric kettle, teas, and filtered water. The room had its own loo right outside and felt very private at the end of its own hallway. The bed was super comfortable--choice of soft AND firm pillows much appreciated!--and I got a great night's sleep. Though I did use the kitchen once or twice to re-heat food etc., the main living spaces and kitchen didn't feel quite as comfortably appointed as other places I've stayed, and I mostly stayed in my bedroom. However the neighborhood was lovely, beautiful and quiet residential streets for just walking and exploring, while also being a stone's throw from the National Mall and Union Station, so just an ideal location all around. There is also a sweet little cafe right next door where you can grab coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and sweet treats.
