This house met all of our needs - especially location. It is just a few blocks from the metro station, and once we understood how that worked, we were all set to explore DC. If you are also a walker, I am sure (based on a map), this house is in a great location - end of a cross street has the White House in view. The house was clean, and offered us plenty of space to move in. We had no problem with 3 flights of stairs (2nd floor is entry level), however be aware that stairs are mandatory for navigating the house. The kitchen offered us the opportunity to eat in, but there are also a few restaurants a short block away. The majority of the beds are on the third floor and one bed is opposite the kitchen, at the first floor. The host was responsive to our questions, and the neighborhood is quiet at night. I would happily return.
