The house is very clean and comfortable, the room is simply furnished with a very comfortable bed. It's in a quiet street, there wasn't any traffic noise., there was a little bit of noise from the other guests, TV, footsteps on the stairs but that's to be expected in a shared space. The house is in a fabulous location, an easy 20 minute or so walk to the National Mall and all the main attractions and sites. There's a Wholefoods about 5 minutes away which is very handy. There was tea, coffee and snacks in the kitchen which was a nice touch.
