Raymond's place was a great spot for a long weekend stay in DC. I used to live in Arlington, VA but moved to NC in 2014. I was back for some work and my dad tagged along. This spot in the Shaw/Logan Circle neighborhood is perfect if you want to experience what it's like to "live like the locals." It's about 12-15 minutes to nearest metro station and 10 minutes to a grocery store and some truly awesome restaurants (Espita Mezcaleria!). To get downtown to the main DC attractions, its a 20 - 30 walk or $12 Lyft ride.
The space itself is well-kept and comfortable. The beds are comfortable and the linens are new and feel wonderful. It's an older building, so expect all the usual creaking and tight corners. But, the AC units are quite powerful. The bathroom is recently updated and is clean. The smart TV in the larger bedroom is a great touch. You're able to log in to your Netflix account (or Hulu or whatever) and watch all your usual favorites once you settle in for the evening. There's also a mini-fridge, microwave and a Keurig with pods for quick cup of coffee or tea first thing in the morning.
If you're used to cooking, then this place might not be good for stays longer than a week. But otherwise, it's quite comfy and I could see myself staying longer if the opportunity arises. Thanks for a great stay, Raymond!
