Marie and her sons have done an excellent job making a great little home away from home. While it is small, it has everything you need and is kept very clean and organized. Communication was also great, they made sure we were settled and made check in and check out a breeze. We had a great stay!
One thing to note is the area is a bit odd, and the only weak point of the apartment. It was on the edge of a nice neighborhood and a rougher neighborhood (that you have to walk through for the metro). We did feel a bit on edge and anxious a few times. There were also homeless men sleeping outside of our door (again, not a *huge* deal, just something to note!)
