Overall a great location and a great host!
I booked the reservation on the day of, as I arrived at my original location for a different reservation and that place was filthy and did not meet expectations, thus I had to cancel upon arrival and book this place instead. I stayed here for 3 nights, and enjoyed every bit of it!
I am so thankful this booking was available! The host Nicole, provided helpful information and great local tips!
The location is right in the DuPont Circle and is walking distance from both the metro and bus stops. It is also located next to a lot of museums and other fun sightseeing locations!
Fun fact, the March against police brutality and racial injustices that took place on Friday, August 28th, was walking distance from this location.
The bed was super comfortable which I appreciated on my first night, as I had gotten lost and got stuck in the rain while trying to make it to the location. The bed does creak a little bit when you toss and turn, but the rug placed under it helps a bit. The room was well cleaned and had a Victorian era theme, which I loved!
There was an a/c unit that also functioned as a dehumidifier which was great for me! The room also had a lot of natural light.
The room came equipped with a microwave, a fridge and a TV. The TV size is a little small, so it was a little difficult for me to read the subtitles when I tried watching a movie on it. A little tip would be for the host to have a water bottle or two left in the fridge for the guests, especially those staying on the second and third floors. I arrived after getting lost feeling very thirsty, and had to walk all the way down the stairs to go out and buy a bottle of water, as the water from the taps in DC taste weird to me.
The bathroom also came with towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash.
I stayed on the second floor, and had to climb up a flight of stairs, which was honestly not bad most days. I was just not a fan of it for the first night as I was on my feet all day, but I got used to it. If you have mobility issues, you will want to only book the rooms on the first floor, I stayed in the Lincoln room, which was located on the second floor.
Outside the building is an area to sit under the shade to enjoy a meal, a drink, or just sit and people watch.
Overall, both the room and the building felt secure, the noise levels were also adequate.
Lastly, there was also a washer and dryer available, but I did not use it. It was however a nice amenity to have.
In summary, it’s a great location, clean and worth the money paid. I will definitely return to stay again!
