This was a great spot for DC travellers! The little touches from Jen made it so homey and a place we looked forward to coming back to at the end of the long days exploring the city. She made the check-in and -out process a breeze, and we appreciated her recommendations. We also used the chromecast feature a few times during bad weather, which was a great touch! A bit of a trip to get to the heart of the national mall and back, which was where we wanted to spend most of our time. We ended up taking Ubers the entire time, as the fare was about the same as the metro, with much less wait time (~20 mins to downtown versus sometimes 45 mins-1 hour via metro, plus extra walking). Overall, a great deal and very clean and well kept. We didn't find the creaky noises from above to be bothersome at all (per other reviews), and there were only a few stowaway spiders that we encountered. :) Great hospitality!
