U street hostel made our Washington DC trip possible. Price was great for a large private room with twin size bunk beds, shower, toilet and sink. Although their website prohibits children, my kids were allowed probably because this room has a private non sharing bathroom. I had some thing shipped to the hostel on the day we arrived and they accepted the package. The room was clean, mattresses were comfy, and the room was cool in temperature. You have to add the GOKI app for the keys to the main door and room key to check in There is a Walgreens across the street and a trader’s joe about 1.5 blocks away. There is a refrigerator, microwave, dining table and chairs on the second floor. The U street green line metro is right around the corner. The bus is also across the street. I do wish the maximum length of stay was longer than 7 days.
