I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Ben's place. Ben checked in on me several times. He also answered quite a few questions I had about travel and use of the subway system and nearby attractions and places to eat. The space was sparkling clean, relatively large for a one room apartment, and nicely maintained. The location was great. It was a very safe neighborhood and I felt comfortable walking. The subway is really close to the place, and you are only a few stops from the popular DC attractions. I would definitely stay here again. Great experience! P.S. Make sure you visit the nearby Basilica and Monastery in Ben's house manual. You won't be disappointed!
