Arnaud is a super host - super responsive, friendly, accommodating, and always available to help. The apartment is a great place from which to start your day (breakfast spots nearby abound), freshen up before dinner, and then come back to after a long night out. The neighborhood isn't particularly noisy, which makes for a good night's sleep. Metro stops all about five minutes away. Other reviews mention the walk-up, but it's clear in the description of the apartment, so we knew what we were getting. In any event, it made us feel less guilty about all the great food we ate every night! I would definitely stay here again when in town.
