Had an absolutely wonderful time staying with Beko--I was lucky enough to be his guest for 10 weeks while I was conducting an internship in D.C. from out of town. Whether it be for a short trip or long one like mine, I can't imagine a better deal than staying with Beko. Beko is one of the kindest and most accommodating hosts I've ever stayed with, and the apartment itself is great. The rooms (including bathrooms) are spacious, the kitchen gorgeous and well-stocked, and on-site access to laundry machines, patio, in-home printing, and TV are amenities that it would be tough to get anywhere else at this value. While the location is in a slightly more residential neighborhood, commuting to smack middle of downtown takes under half an hour (the metro is only a few blocks away and is a straight shot west to almost all of D.C.'s most visited landmarks). If I'm ever back in D.C., staying with Beko again would be at the top of my list.
