Summary: pros- extremely close to Howard University, comfortable bed; cons- not very clean (musty odor in room and linens), tone deaf host who was not hospitable, crime in area.
My family was caught traveling during Southwst Airlines dramatic weekend of cancellations and delays. I contacted the host before my reservation began. She never responded to the request and refused to acknowledge I paid for 2 nights (50% of my stay) that I couldn't possibly have stayed. I needed a day added to the end of the reservation, for which she wanted to charge me.
