Location is amazing. Only about 1.5 miles from the Smithsonian’s and the neighborhood feels pretty safe. There’s a 7/11 right across the street which is very convenient. You could probably bike to the mall from the place but it would take some time. the floor gets very cold at night so beware lol. It’s fairly small but it’s bigger than most hotel rooms for the same price. The ceilings were pretty thin so we could hear walking upstairs but after about 8 that seemed to cease so there was no trouble sleeping. There’s no control over the thermostat but it’s usually at a very nice temperature. I did wake up one night a little hot because the heat got turned on but cracking the window in the bedroom solved that. Overall it was fantastic and an amazing deal! I highly recommend for anyone staying in DC for a couple days!
