Hope was an excellent host. The little place is great. We felt safe, area was well lit and plenty of people walking the area. Centrally located, easy to walk to the Columbia Heights metro station, shopping and restaurants near by. Inside was clean and comfortable. We are planning on returning to the DC area as we just did not have enough time (3 days) to take in all of the sights and when we do, we will check availability here first. I highly recommend staying here.
