Amazing brand new property just 2 blocks from White House. Very modern and clean apartments with all the facilities that are required for a family trip. We liked it so much that extended our stay in Washington just to relax on our trip from Florida to NY. WiFi is excellent and room was equipped with desk if you need to do some remote work. Location couldn’t be better - we parked our car at underground parking just 100m from hotel (20$ per night) and didn’t touch it for all 3 days in the city - everything is conveniently located so that we could come back to apartment for lunch break and then continue sightseeing. And the price is excellent and below average especially in this location.

I had a great stay! The place was very clean and beautifully decorated, just as shown in the photos. The host provided clear instructions for check-in and was very accommodating throughout my stay. I really appreciated the inclusion of basic utensils and plates—it made things much more convenient. The location is excellent too, just a short walk to metro lines, which made getting around the city super easy. Would definitely stay here again!

    This place is exactly what you would expect from the title, a cheap place to stay in a good location. If you're not really fussed with comfort or luxury, and just want an affordable place (which is exactly what I wanted) close to everything you want to see in Washington, but having a private room rather than sharing in a dorm, this place is perfect. It's old and quite run down, but the room was clean, which is the important thing.

    The hosts were very friendly and the room was very clean! The location was ideal and I love the colors in the rooms and how many amenities there were - if we were staying longer, we definitely would have tried more. Very close to food places and a pretty quick walk to the monuments. Would stay again!
