I stayed at the micro house when I was traveling to the DC area for an academic conference. It is very cute, located in a safe neighborhood, and has a very comfortable mattress up in that loft! I would recommend the place more for people venturing to DC for play and sightseeing rather than work, as it is a bit small to spend extended time in doing work. But, it is a great value and super comfy if you are planning to spend a lot of time sightseeing and want a cozy, relatively inexpensive place to come home to. Mingo is a fantastic host-- Super nice, communicative, easygoing-- Check in and check out was a breeze and he responded to emails almost immediately.
