Great location close to Metro, restaurants, & shopping, yet surprisingly quiet. Mark is a very genial and helpful, responsive host. Most of the guests are fairly long-term (weeks to months) and we had a great time talking to them. Our room, in front of house on top floor, was spacious and light. Townhouse is comfortable but has some quirks like many older buildings (e.g. deck is only accessible through 3rd floor bathroom). Wonderful collection of art and handicrafts from around the world.
