Mike is a great host. Easy to communicate with and helpful. For example he let me borrow his phone charger! ( I forgot my British plus adapter).
Everything was as described, apart from the size of my particular room which, although very clean and tidy ( new towels, and slippers), was very small and had bunk beds, which restricted my mobility.
I found the noise from the bar not to be a problem - in fact they played some good tunes! It was also a nice friendly place to have a drink and relax in.
I was very happy with the area. I ate at the NuVegan restaurant opposite and chatted with locals about the historic area. It was a bonus to find that Howard University was just around the corner!
