If you are on a budget, and you are looking for nice, clean, well run place to stay in oh so expensive DC, this place is definitely worth looking at. It is a hostel with shared rooms but also has small single rooms. Mine was indeed small but clean and very functional. And the price could not be beat. The place is really, really quiet in the evening and the staff are super friendly and enthusiastic. Also the neighborhood is very pretty, with a park for kids across the road and lots of fancy looking apartment buildings, but also close to restaurants and grocery stores. No problem for me wandering around in the evenings.
