The place is within striking distance of the Metro at Fort Totten and Takoma (the longer walk of the two, but a nifty neighborhood). The room was clean and airy, and indeed the whole unit was spotless and well-appointed (special shout-out to the quality shower). Check-in was very easy and straightforward. I was out and about a lot, but one of the days I was there I did catch-up with Mike, the host, who was very friendly and welcoming, and gave me some great tips on the local spots. Much recommended!
