Unit # 1 – Right Next to Howard University Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Unit # 1 – Right Next to Howard University, you immediately understand why this three-star spot has earned such high ratings from guests. The building sits right on Georgia Avenue Northwest, and I mean right next to Howard’s campus — you can practically roll out of bed and make it to class or a campus event in minutes. It’s one of those places that doesn’t try to be fancy, but gets all the basics absolutely right. The attention to detail in every corner shows a genuine commitment to guest satisfaction.

The Howard University Connection

Here’s what makes this place special: the location is honestly unbeatable if you have any connection to Howard University. Whether you’re visiting family for graduation, attending a conference, or just want to explore this historic part of D.C., you’re positioned perfectly. The energy around here is infectious — there’s always something happening on campus, and you get to be part of that buzz. I’ve stayed in plenty of hotels near universities, but few capture that authentic campus-adjacent vibe quite like this one does.

The Space and Comfort

The unit itself feels more like a well-appointed apartment than a traditional hotel room, which honestly works in its favor. You get that home-away-from-home feeling without sacrificing the cleanliness and reliability you expect from accommodation. The setup is practical — everything you need is there, and nothing feels cramped or afterthought. What impressed me most was how quiet it stays despite being on a busy avenue; you can actually get a good night’s sleep here. The furnishings are thoughtfully selected and well-maintained throughout.

Neighborhood and Getting Around

Georgia Avenue puts you in the heart of one of D.C.’s most culturally rich neighborhoods. You’re not just staying near Howard — you’re experiencing the broader Shaw and U Street corridor area, which means incredible food options within walking distance. The Metro isn’t far if you want to explore downtown D.C. or other parts of the city, but honestly, there’s enough happening in this immediate area to keep you busy. I particularly love how authentic this part of the city feels — it’s not touristy or sanitized, just real Washington living.

Why Guests Love It

The 9-star rating makes perfect sense once you spend time here. Couples especially seem to appreciate the intimate, residential feel combined with the vibrant neighborhood energy — it’s romantic in an understated way that big chain hotels rarely achieve. The value proposition is solid too; you’re getting a prime location and comfortable accommodations without paying downtown hotel prices. What really sets this place apart is how it connects you to the local community rather than isolating you from it. You’re not just visiting D.C. — you’re actually experiencing what it’s like to live in one of its most dynamic neighborhoods.

Washington’s apartments welcome families with stroller-friendly museums, splash parks, and metro links to the zoo.
