Great spot in Adams Morgan near Connecticut Ave!
We loved the location and the cozy ambience of unit 0 but it was very small with no kitchen and limited utensils but really cute and affordable. Easy to get in and out and about 5 mins to Metro station

Small and noisy
It was a very nice place if you’re only going to stay for one night. However, you can hear noise all around you at night! Washington, DC, like NYC is a city that doesn’t sleep!

Cozy efficiency in good location.
Overall our stay was exactly what we needed & the hosts were very helpful. I do have to mention that the cleanliness was not 100%. The bathroom floor was sticky & the shower could not have been thoroughly cleaned in a while. The bathroom door also needed to be desperately wiped down to remove some obvious “spots”. All in all, the whole apartment could have used a thorough cleaning but was by no means filthy.

Short stay
I was very pleased with the room and it's location to good eating establishments within walking distance. Parking is tight but she does offer a parking spot for an up charge.

Great place to stay in DC
I needed a quick one-night stay in DC and this property was perfect. It was conveniently located near a Metro station (about a 5-10 minute walk) and just a few minutes from a nice restaurant and evening activity part of DC. Very comfortable and convenient for my needs.

Wonderful place to stay
This was a great room with a very soft and peaceful bed. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. The air was great on the super hot days that Washington gave when we stayed. April and her family were very suppportive and helpful. A great place for a couples get away.
