Location, location, location. This ample room has private bath, comfortable bed, 15’ ceilings, microwave, fridge, and Krups coffee maker. Bathroom is beautifully stocked. The location is amazing. A literal 3 minute walk to bus stop 42, and to the Metro red line at Dupont Circle. Check out the nearby great restaurants — Mi Casa and KramerBooks All Day. Various Bakeries and Starbucks make for easy breakfast too. This is in the CENTER of everything.
The kicker is that the unit lacks central heating or air. When I arrived (12/17/21), the temps outside were 55 or so, and the one space heater was able to get the room to 65. But the bathroom was brrrr…. Then when the outdoor temp fell to 29-32, the solo space heater couldn’t get the unit above 60 degrees. That is COLD. Owners brought another space heater. It took 12 hours for both of them to get the room to 67.
There is no view from the room at all. Windows are frosted and/or look out on brick alley, so no sitting and reading, and looking at a view. But who needs to be in their room? The Location of this historic unit makes it a JOY and ease to get anywhere in DC. Like I said, location, location, location. With all that in mind, it is a great springboard for your DC adventure.
