My stay at Dennis' was absolutely wonderful! The bed was so comfortable, my room was nice, and the neighborhood was quiet and easily walkable. As a woman, I felt safe walking in the neighborhood by myself at night. The Waterfront metro stop is just a few blocks away and there are lots of restaurants and a nice park at the Navy Yard. The location was wonderful. It was about a $20 cab ride from DCA to the house. There was easy access to the metro but it was still walkable as I walked from the house to the National Mall. I was also able to take an Uber from the Library of Congress to Dennis' and then to DCA for less than $20.
The house is very comfortable and the wifi worked really well. The keypad for the front door was really convenient. The desk in the room was great as well, as I was traveling in the middle of the semester and had some school stuff to work on.
I did not get to meet Dennis, unfortunately. However, Dennis was always quick to respond to my messages when I had questions. He was always very kind and I will most definitely be staying here again when I make it back to DC!
