Kip's place was in an ideal location for us as we needed convenient access to the Washington Convention Center. It was usually only around a 10 minute drive yet far enough out of the city center to be quiet and safe. There was tons of space for our party of 3 and more can easily be accommodated. Kip was a great host; always ready to help out and very considerate of our poor arrival time. It was fantastic that check-in was so quick and easy because of our timing. Only thing that was an issue as times, as it was when we arrived at one in the morning, was the parking. Although free, it is street parking and can be challenging, especially with the steep cross streets.
