Daniele is a great host, thoughtful and responsive. I was supposed to check in early morning but a health emergency kept me out of phone range for most of the day. She was very understanding. The place is warm and personal and easy to get comfortable in. We had everything we needed. The fold out couch and bed are both very comfortable and the way the apt. is set up, it is affords the privacy of a 2 bedroom. The neighborhood itself is not trendy exactly but everything you need is within one or two blocks including the Metro. It is a great value.
