Ben's place was the perfect location for my stay in DC. 2 blocks from the subway or bus line. Lots of restaurants in the area. Ben's communication was great, I had no prblem accessing the room late in the evening. The room itself had plenty of space, with nice touches like turkish towels. There is another rented room on the other side of the bathroom but I couldn't hear them. Very quiet at night, comfortable bed, access to microwave and minifridge. Would recommend Ben's place to anyone looking for a clean, safe, and convenient place to stay in DC. There are singing lessons there in the early evening but I never got back from sightseeing in time to hear them.
