For the location, right off Wisconsin between Georgetown & the Cathedral (and with a huge forested park only a few blocks away), what you get for the price is amazing! Just don't over-anticipate: This is not a luxury suite at a third the price. It's a place to sleep and stay at night, sharing a bath with another room. If you are used to travelling efficiently in Europe you'll be just fine with it. Olena will open up communication with you daily without intruding on your stay. On the other hand, if you want all the space and isolation of a typical American lodging, then you will need to be willing to pay what that costs in DC (= a lot more). In sum, it was perfect for me. I just needed a place to crash while being out in the city during the days & evenings.
