We both really like Katherine's tiny house. The Navy Yard is a gentrifying neighborhood around 1.5 miles from the hart of the Washington Mall.
Pros:
-fun, tiny house (live your wildest HDTV Dreams).
-Walk-able neighborhood just a few minutes from the metro and grocery store and less than an hour's walk to the mall.
-Stylish space - cool skylights in loft.
-Comes with soap, towels, and a welcome gift.
-Very quiet, especially for the city!
Cons:
-It is a very tiny house. I do not recommend if you are anything over 6 feet tall.
-The bedroom is in a loft by itself and the main ceiling in that room is around 6'2" off the ground. But parts of the roof near the bed are slanted, and so when I would bend down to turn on the side table lamp, I would whack my head on the ceiling (I am 6 feet tall). Not fun!
-The bathroom is on the main floor and so you have to walk down curving stairs at night to use the toilet.
-One of the neighbors had a motion flood light that goes on and off all night that will wake you up if you are a light sleeper (even with window shades closed).
-The check-out list requires you to do all dishes by hand (there is not a dishwasher), take out the trash recycling, and collect all linens/towels in a bag downstairs before you leave.
-The unit was built in the backyard of the owner's row house. We had trouble finding it at night. You should put the house's address into your GPS and then when you arrive look for an alley behind the main house to access the backyard where the unit is located.
Overall this place is a great value. We would stay there again depending on price. We would definitely recommend it to others that don't mind the small space.
