Excellent location: Two blocks to the 32 or 36 buses (Penn & 8th stop) that go right to the Mall, and up to the White House (and beyond).
The Eastern Market and nearby shops & restaurants are right around the corner.
FYI, this is a basement apartment with the hosts upstairs but they were mostly quiet (and totally quiet at night).
The hosts were very nice and checked in with us more than once to see if we needed anything.
Bottom line: GREAT location. Very good value. Would definitely stay here again.
