Safe, quiet, pleasant neighborhood. Budget price rental, convenient location 5 minutes walk to Dupont Circle, restaurants, and metro station. Friendly, prompt, and helpful communication with the host. Room for improvement: would suggest upgrading the sofa, which is not exactly inviting either in its construction, comfort, or the plain cotton sheet covering. Toilet paper could / should be on a convenient holder, not placed on top of the water container requiring one to turn around and manually unfurl. By the nature of this type of building, the floor boards are noisy and creaky – that is, from the upstairs neighbor. I was woken up more than once by the upstairs neighbor simply walking around. The sound really reverberates. I had to get ear plugs for sleeping. If you are a light sleeper like me, you should bear this in mind. Overall a bargain and am happy to recommend, with the caveats above.
