Cheap and cheerful! The place was clean and everything worked as you'd want it to. The bedroom is at the back, so I didn't have any issues with street noise.
There are a couple of neat places in walking distance (go see Marcus at DC Smokehouse), and I had no issues getting in.
Ben was a bit slower at times with response, but nothing that created real issues - and he tried to be flexible with my plans as best he could.
It's not palacial, but as long as you're not looking for that, Ben's place is a great homebase!
