Alex’s place is centrally located to restaurants and shops, and is 2 miles to downtown DC. A quick bus ride will take you downtown in 15-25 minutes. The bus stop is a 3-4 minute walk, which was great! Be aware the ceilings are low (anyone over 6’2 would have difficulty standing) and the bathroom is very tight. The futon is also much more comfortable than I first thought. I enjoyed my stay primarily for the central location. Alex was really great, too!
