There are many good things about this house. It has a lovely, very well equipped kitchen (three coffeemakers!). The downstairs is one large open space with the kitchen/dining area/living room all flowing into each other which makes it easy for 6-8 people to hang out and make meals together. A large dining room table accommodates 8 comfortably. The downstairs space is nicely decorated and lit. The bathroom off the master bedroom is modern. The entire house was very clean. Ben responded to emails quickly. The house is close to H Street where there are many restaurants and coffee shops and a Whole Foods and a Giant. It is also not too far (about a 20 minute walk) from the Capitol, the National Gallery and the many Smithsonian museums. Nearby on-street parking was easy to find.
However, the beds in the middle bedroom and the office/bedroom were not comfortable, especially for two people. Additionally, it was hard to control the temperature in these rooms. Also, while the neighborhood offers many advantages, it is still in transition. We observed a scary incident.
