The neighborhood was delightful and very convenient to the Metro, grocery store, and places we wanted to walk to and visit. While our hosts were away when we arrived, their daughter welcomed us to the apartment and made sure we were well settled before leaving. The bedroom windows were on the street and it was a bit noisier than we anticipated our first night, but aside from this we found the apartment well equipped, comfortable, and charming. Our hosts also left a book of directions that included advice on places to visit in the surrounding area, and this was very helpful.
