Fran and Timothy's place is exactly as described. The bed is comfortable and the television offers some good entertainment options for a lazy/rainy day that keeps you inside.
It's a safe neighborhood and we never had any concerns about walking or scootering at any time of day or night. Most of our travel was via the Metro and the Shaw-Howard U station is about 4 blocks away, which is an easy, pleasant walk.
Next time I come to DC, I will be checking for availability!
