My boyfriend and I had an amazing stay in Manuel and John's place on our visit to DC. It was beautifully decorated and the bed and couch/futon were extremely comfortable. This studio is a basement that has been nicely renovated with a kitchen area including a mini fridge, a bathroom, and a living area/bed. Since this is a basement studio, you will occasionally hear some movement upstairs but it was never too early or too loud. The ceilings in parts of the main room as well as the door frames are low, not a negative just a heads up to taller people that you will need to duck a lot. Also, the AC/heat is controlled by the main house so you will need to contact Manuel or John to request for a temperature change, however they were very quick to respond to us about this! The area around the studio was wonderful! We absolutely loved the neighborhood including the park down the street with all of the dogs. We also loved being able to walk everywhere to see the monuments and museums, and we were very close to a capital bike share station (highly recommend this over the scooters) and the Metro if we needed to go any further. Overall we would love to stay here again, thank you Manuel and John for sharing your beautiful studio!
