Very cozy, user-friendly room in a great part of D.C.
Features a living space, with work desk and a couple chairs, with a comfy bed in an alcove. East windows for good morning light. Small fridge and microwave, good for budget travelers.
Best? Two blocks from the Metro, and Kramerbooks, a wonderful bookstore/bar/restaurant. I had their Huevos Rancheros for breakfast, served very different than the traditional, lots of veggies, very tasty and filling.
Like coffee? FOUR Starbucks within three blocks.
Want to eat cheap? TWO Subways within two blocks.
Want to eat not-so-cheap? Lots of more expensive restaurants, like Urbana on P St.
Stroll up Mass Ave, on the way to the White House/Capitol/Mall and pass a dozen embassies. Nightlife? Try DuPont Underground on a Friday and/or Saturday. Not for me, but I'm a long ways from twentysomething.
DuPont's my favorite D.C. neighborhood, and Lola's Room is a budget-friendly place to stay if you're checking it out.
Host Nicole is readily available by email, and entry/check-in was smooth.
Last, I appreciated the good wifi, and the ability to store my bags in the downstairs living room after the 12:00 checkout, so I could roam before catching the Metro ($3.00 to DCA, fast and inexpensive!) to the airport.
