This place in the tony Palisades area near the German embassy was on a very private street. I was able to park my car right by the home without worrying about it. The location is a twenty minute walk to a lot of nice eating places and a little longer to the Potomac river trails with kayak and bike trails. $12-15 uber ride will take you to the Smithsonian area and museums.
The check in and out were both easy and the owner responded in a timely manner to my concerns. He came down on the first day and introduced himself and helpfully answered my questions.
I would recommend that seniors or people with difficulty negotiating steps to think twice about staying here. There are 15 -20 steps to reach the room. The description of the place did say that you go down steps but I did not imagine so many and I had hip surgery recently.
I would choose the room that has a window which faces the reservoir. I stayed in a room without a window and I felt a little enclosed in and a little warm. The owner did provide me with a fan which helped a lot with the temperature and air circulation.
The kitchen and bathrooms were good except that it needs a dish rack instead of the rubber rough mat to better wash and clean the dishes in a more sanitary manner. The shower head was amazingly huge. Loved it.
