I stayed with Carla and Giuseppe for a conference near Adams Morgan neighborhood. It was great to be able to have a quiet place to stay somewhere close but not at the conference. The place was fairly close (10 min walk) to shops and the metro- very convenient. Sometimes basements generally could be cold but we were both comfortable - and there were space heaters just in case which was great. I didn’t get to meet Carla in person but she was accommodating and it was easy to check in and get the keys even when we arrived at late hours. She responded quickly to our questions too. The place was clean and cute- I wish we had time to make use of the ping pong table!
