DC is expensive Everyone should be able to have a safe clean inexpensive place like a student/ hostel where those of us trying to keep on a budget, but enjoy the possibility of traveling to great places possible.
THIS hostel is in SE, most tourist attractions are NW . Sometimes $45 Uber but the place is close to two metro stations which can get you anywhere in the city and around surrounding areas.
However this place is jammed filled with people, there are seven beds in a room. Three bunkbeds and one regular bed. To see is cramped is an understatement
