My Mom and I stayed at John's for a weekend getaway in DC. We loved the close proximity to the metro and rode the metro to get around town easily. The neighborhood is quiet and we felt safe. Check in was easy and the basement dwelling was a described. Very clean and a well stocked kitchen, great assortment of teas! My mom slept on the sofa bed and I slept in the bedroom and we were both comfortable and had plenty of space. The communication with John was excellent, too. We didn't have time to play any of the board games but maybe next time. Would definitely stay here again.
