Joel's place is great. If you are coming in town for a convention at the Washington Convention Center as I was, this is the place to stay. It's just a short walk to the convention center and has bars, restaurants, a grocery store, and coffee shop on the way. It's just a block away from the Metro station and a Capital Bikeshare station. The house is beautiful and well-kept. You do share a bathroom with the guests in the other bedroom but we did not encounter any issues in this regard. The other guests were polite and quiet in the mornings and evenings. It felt like we had the whole house to ourselves the whole time. Check in and check out is simple and Joel is very accommodating. I would definitely stay again!
