I had a great stay at Elsa’s place and extended my stay! Elsa is a really wonderful host and very responsive in communications. It is a basement apartment, but equipped, spacious and quiet. It is located in a safe residential neighborhood in NW DC. It is not close to downtown DC - - it takes about 30 mins in Uber or Lyft. It is also not close to the metro, but the bus stop is walkable. I took Uber and Lyft daily to work in downtown DC and it was very reasonable prices and efficient. I enjoyed my stay and definitely recommend it.
