This was a lovely apartment close to downtown and the wharf. If you want to be close to city transportation options (bicycles for rent on the wharf, the metro system and buses) and the airport this is a great spot. Rachel has decorated the apartment with her own textile art and those of friends, making the space very interesting and enjoyable. We loved being on the second floor looking out over the street and a little fountain and plaza on the corner. You are in the heart of Little Italy so close to many restaurants, including a breakfast/lunch spot downstairs. Staying here reminded me of being in Europe.
