It is easy to get around, thanks to the hostel's proximity to the Metro station. You can also conveniently take the bus to Georgetown for a short walk. Another perk is the neighborhood, which seems nice to stroll. All in all, it was a good experience for four days, and I definitely recommend staying for a short time.

Only thing would be increased ventilation inside the rooms, as some nights it was not comfortable sleeping through unpleasant odours. But other than that everything else was great, friendly staff, cozy pods, chill common area, etc. Glad to have been there during my trip to DC
