Very clean/sanitized. Quiet, secure, private, well-adorned, thoughtfully appointed, and modern. Simple in and out, the room was up 1 flight of stairs. Had an inviting feel overall. Safe, walkable, tree-lined, established type of neighborhood - this is not the DC on the news of drugs, violence, crime, etc. Easy and plentiful FREE street parking right out front. I didn't worry about my car being broken into. Everything worked: fridge, microwave, outlets, etc. Hot water with decent pressure. It's about a 6-minute drive to Mass. Ave. and 20 min. or so non-rush hour to downtown GWU/White House. The host, Sky, was a pleasure to work with. Quick responses to my questions and accommodating to my specific needs. Would I recommend this place or stay here again? Absolutely. Positively. 100% yes.

    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!
