Hostelworld says

Hostelworld guests have had high praise for Duo Housing DC, saying ?the staff are really friendly and the atmosphere fosters a welcoming community?. This hostel has a very home-like atmosphere, with free Wi-Fi and internet, a study area, free towels and even a guest phone. We like their no-shoes policy, contributing to a clean, secure, friendly house.

Property Description

Interning or moving to Washington DC? Just exploring the United States Capitol? This is the perfect housing alternative for international students and interns in any of the cities we service! We're located just 5 minutes to the US Capitol, The Library of Congress, The Washington Navy Yard and many more nearby attractions. Furthermore, we have restaurants and cafes within walking distance, easy for you to reach! Close to Multiple Metro and bus stations.

Check out what makes Duo Housing the #1 choice for students, travelers, and interns!
Everything is all brand-new - we've got new bathrooms and a new media room.
We also have the cleanest rooms in DC because we have a policy of no shoes in the house and no food/eating in the guest rooms.
Room rates include free bed linen, free bath towels, free maid service and a free lockable locker - bring your own lock!

There's also free coffee and tea as well as free kitchen utensils if you want to cook for yourself.
Free Breakfast, free Wi-Fi, free Internet, free computer usage, free use of our Nintendo Wii and free house events, as well as drinkable water, all throughout the house.
...and, of course, free meeting new friends. The big city is intimidating to new guests, but you can plan on making some great new friends. Many of our guests end up becoming friends and getting apartments together!
Duo Housing is designed to encourage interaction among our guests as much as possible. Our rooms are shared, as are the bathroom facilities, kitchens, and living rooms. The living room (or social room) has a huge 42' flat-screen TV, all the premium cable TV channels, DVD player, and a phone to call anywhere in the continental US.

Need some down time? There's a separate quiet study area, too.
What makes us different? The biggest difference is our hostels were started by people just like you and are run by people with needs just like yours. So instead of coming home from school or your internship to an impersonal warehouse of beds, you feel like you're coming home - you're staying with people who fast become your friends; you cook with people from all over the world; you get to learn and experience the city first-hand with friends.

Duo Housing DC says

Penso che quello che veramente ci rende speciali sono i nostri extra, in particolare la mappa completa del tour fornita da uno dei nostri amichevoli e multilingua assistenti. Danno un sacco di ottimi consigli, come il loro musero favorito Smithsonian, o indicando i loro posti preferiti per mangiare a buon mercato o dove fare le foto più belle dello skyline. Organizziamo anche il tour della casa per ogni ospite per far conoscere la proprietà e farli sentire a loro agio e i benvenuti. Ci sforziamo di rendere questo alloggio una casa-lontano-da-casa , come se si stesse a casa di amici piuttosto che in un ambiente impersonale. Il National Mall, dove si trovano tutti i musei Smithsonian e i monumenti nazionali, è a circa 20 minuti a piedi dalla nostra struttura. Personalmente consiglio a tutti i nostri ospiti di fare una tappa al Georgetown Cupcake: hanno vinto un concorso nazionale Cupcake! Abbiamo attività previste per quasi tutti i giorni della settimana, come notte cinema, Football americano , serata Bingo, etc. Il nostro staff ha anche compilato una lista di cose divertenti da fare e luoghi interessanti da visitare nel quartiere.
