We visited for a week and appreciated the location. Within walking distance to the Metro/Circulator Bus, Organic Market, Eastern Market &Trader Joes. River is very responsive and welcoming. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen a plus for fixing meals and dining in. The shower being 3 feet from the bed and no electrical outlet in the bathroom have been mentioned in other reviews, but we didn't know that the thermostat in the dining room regulated a portion of the unit above. So, when River called to ask us to lower the temp for the upstairs weekend guests, we were a bit surprised. Not a big problem, just something to be aware of. Over all a good location to "live like a local."
