Great Neighborhood and Host

I highly suggest staying at Mr. Flash's Flat. This basement apartment is in a good neighborhood near restaurants and a Metro station (15 min easy walk). It was very clean and quiet. Also, the host is wonderful and very responsive. We would definitely stay here again!

Best little get away.

This place was one of the best places we have stayed at ever. Very clean and quiet. We have traveled in country and out of country so we have had a little experience with this type of accommodation. We really liked Mr. Flash. Thank you for everything.

Great host and nice neighbourhood

We stayed with two kids. The flat was great for exploring all the sites around the national mall, which are just a few bus stops away. The neighbourhood itself is really lovely and relaxed, a farmers market is in five minutes walking distance. The host is great, super nice and was very helpful, even with our quite specific queries. We’d love to come back and would definitively stay there again.
