The location was perfect and we absolutely loved the bright and airy space with all the shuttered windows looking out over the circle. A darling sitting area and seating that’s great for movie-watching in, or people-watching out.
Lea was wonderful and responsive and the thorough instructions made checking and settling in a breeze.
We drove in this time and parked all weekend in the parking garage at 2400 M St. NW for $30 (or $23 w/ a spot hero coupon) and it was only a 4-5 min walk.
Easy walk to the mall, Phillips Collection, Trader Joe’s/Whole Foods (the fridge came in handy), shopping, and of course restaurants/bars/coffee shops galore.
It’s an older space, but I found it to be tidy and comfortable (with far more space than needed for my husband and I). Huge closet, desk, seating, one half bathroom with a tub/shower/sink and a second powder room with a toilet/sink (which we found to be extra convenient).
Being on a main street and part of a building, it can be loud, but just a normal part of city life and nothing out of the ordinary (I actually prefer locations like this, and enjoy the ambiance). While I’m assuming there was another tenant on the top floor (and floors below) it felt very private.
The thermostat seemed to be permanently set to 72, which is probably the norm for most (our visit was in January), but a little warmer than we’re personally used to. I didn’t investigate further though since, we just cracked a window as needed.
My only complaint was we found the bed to be pretty uncomfortable (and I normally don’t mind a firm mattress), and even just basic cotton sheets would have been great compared to the hot, polyester ones it had. BUT, it wouldn’t keep me from visiting again;-) It’s definitely been one of our favorite spots so far and a great find!
