Kara's Place is in an excellent location for those looking to stay in the heart of D.C. Near U street, only a short ride to many attractions. This place has lots of style and is right in the mix. The two bathrooms is a huge plus. Awesome mood lighting and bluetooth soundbar. I'm not sure if we were unexpected guests or not because the beds were just mattresses on the floor. So if this is unacceptable I would definitely inquire as to whether bed frames have been added or not. The place is clean as in not grungy or filthy but its seems as if maybe some of the simple cleaning (sweeping, vacuuming, wiping kitchen surfaces) was neglected before our stay. Also we experienced an issue with the washer not properly spin rinsing the garments so we were not able to wash as needed but I'm sure this will not be a permanent issue as Kara is a very responsive host. Kara is very open and communicative as a host as she informed us that we were her first guest. She even stopped by to check on the washer issue. All in all this will probably be a great place to stay once all the kinks are worked out.
