A charming private room in a historic building (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lafayette_Apartment_Building_(Washington,_D.C.)). Room has been recently (and beautifully!) renovated, and includes a mini-fridge. David was waiting to welcome me when I arrived, and to point out the highlights of the neighborhood.

An easy two-block stroll to the Metro, steps from a boutique coffee roaster, and plenty of good restaurants nearby. (Like Ethiopian food? There's tons of it!)
