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!

Other places might be rated as high on cleanliness, but are older and have a feeling of staying in someone's well-kept house. This is distinctly different - it's more like staying in a spotless, recently renovated hotel suite with a kitchen. The Metro is a short walk and a wide variety of restaurants nearby. I will 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!
