Gennet was a lovely host and completely professional about the practical aspects of checking in and checking out – thoughtful, responsive and considerate; I couldn't have asked for more. Internet access worked perfectly as well.

The place is in a neighbourhood of leafy residential streets and looked exactly as advertised in the pictures; Logan Circle is a pleasant five minutes' walk away, with a Whole Foods Market nearby in P Street. The street is quiet, and I slept well. Walking down to Constitution Avenue and the Washington Monument takes about 30 minutes, and there is a Capital Bikeshare nearby as well.

Will's and Gennet's place was an excellent base for me during my week in Washington.
