Mike's place was great. It was just a shown in photographs, and both him and Farrah were very responsive. We came for a staycation with plans to relax and enjoy the city when there are else tourists about. Let me tell you, the location is EXCELLENT and you can basically walk anywhere of interest, with fabulous restaurants close by (and whole foods for groceries). The one minor concern would be noise from the apartment above: we were awoken quite early each morning due to very loud footsteps (running, pounding, you name it, we heard it, staring at ~ 6am and constant such that there was no chance of falling back to sleep until noon) coming from upstairs. There was also one blood curdling scream that had us waking up panicked from sleep at 6am on one of the mornings we were there. Regardless of what brings you to DC waking up that early, unless you are here to work, is likely not ideal. So, if you are a not a deep sleeper (my friend is a moderately deep sleeper and hardly wakes up for anything and she was sleep deprived too), I would strongly advocate bringing earplugs. Or, if possible, rent the apartment above (if it is actually rentable, we didn't know for sure). Other than being unexpectedly sleep deprived, our stay was great and we would not hesitate to stay here again!
