Marc’s place is in a perfect location for exploring the city, and it’s quiet and safe at night. It has a comfortable bed and the overall cleanliness is pretty good. If you’re looking to spend most of your time out and about.. this the perfect place. It’s simple; a bed, shower, refrigerator. No TV, so bring some books or games to play while at home. There were no fans or A/C, so even in September it got a little warm at night. If you’re staying in warmer months bring your own small fan. Being in a basement, there will be noise coming from above as Marc has described in the listing, so we weren’t surprised by it. If you’re a light sleeper bring a white noise app or ear plugs. Other than that this place was just what we were looking for and if we needed to come back to DC for a long weekend trip we would certainly consider Marc’s place as it was very modestly priced.
