The host was incredibly nice and flexible. Check-out time was in the morning but our flight was in the evening and she allowed us to stay until then, which was incredibly helpful! She had great recommendations to places to eat and visit. The location is great, with the Library of Congress right down the street and all the big monuments a short Uber ride or nice walk away.
The biggest issue we had with our stay was that the room was in a house with many other renters, but the bedroom does not have a keyed lock. We can lock the door when we are inside, but when we are out and leave all our things behind, the room remains unlocked. This made us uncomfortable, and we would not know when or if someone went into our room.
The other issue we had was that it was incredibly hot for us. We had so much trouble sleeping the 2nd night. The temperature outside was 71F (warm for November) and, with 2 people in a cozy sized room, the room was much hotter. We had all the fans provided on, and it was too late to try and reach out for assistance. The listing mentioned there is an AC, but it seems that refers to central AC, which affects the whole house and is not within our control to change (again, it was too late in the night to reach out). There is a space heater though.
The room was nice and cozy, with a small closet with dishes, a microwave, a fridge, and utensils. The bed was comfortable and there was a small TV in the room with cable. The bathroom is not connected to our room (you have to walk through common areas), but is private to us (we are the only ones who use it). We noticed some hair in the tub, but overall the bathroom was very clean.
Something minor that is worth mentioning, but didn't bother us too much was that you can speak in the bedroom in a low conversational voice and people outside the room will hear every single word. It did not bother us, but did make us feel like we had less privacy.
Overall, we still think this place is a great place to stay. Other than the heat on the 2nd night, everything else did not impact our stay and we had a great time.
