My husband and 16 year old daughter and I loved staying in Lorette's apartment, it was spotless and beautiful, and was just as she had described it. It's on the 4th floor of a pretty, well-kept old building, and the elevator (although tiny) worked just fine. The apartments' decor is lovely, the living room and dining room are large, as are the bedrooms, and the large beds are extremely comfortable. The apartment is on a side street and is very quiet. The kitchen is modern and attractive and very well stocked, and Lorette left us a lovely welcome basket of goodies. All of the appliances worked fine, including the washer and dryer. The location was great, literally a 2 minute walk from the nearest Metro. There's a really good cafe right on the corner with tons of character (we had a great New Years Eve meal there) and an excellent bakery and small grocery store within 2 blocks. Lorette was very reachable and was extremely helpful and responsive to questions, and she left us lots of info and recommendations about the neighborhood. Couldn't recommend Lorette's apartment more highly.
