I spent a week at a conference at the convention center, so the location was reasonably good: 30 min walk to the green/yellow lines and then 3 stops to the convention. The neighborhood walk is very pretty, actually. Columbia Heights and Mt Pleasant restaurants and stores were handy. It also about 30 min walk to the red line. The room, on the 3rd floor, is spartan but clean, as is the bath. As someone else commented, the bathtub is a bit tricky and probably not good for an older person. The house is very quiet, but there is a little street noise. There is a cat, but it's not bothersome. Martin was very helpful when I arrived. Price was great for DC.
