What a space!!! If you like a space with a unique style and want to feel as if you are about to embark on a 80 days tour around the world then that is it! Even if none of this appeals to you, still book it if you have a chance. Carl is a great host and the place is exactly as described. There are some really lovely coffee shops and eateries in the area plus it is not far from downtown DC. I would absolutely stay there again if I come back to DC.
