Shaila and Ria are the perfect hosts. They responded immediately to my questions. The apartment is well lit with windows on two sides. The apartment was exceptionally clean and very quiet. The neighbors on the street actually say hello, even the kids! Makes a visitor feel at home and at ease. The rate may be a bit high, but I guess that's DC. Safeway two short blocks away was a big plus. I would definitely stay here again and strongly recommend the apartment to anyone. If there is perfect airbnb, this is it. Thanks Ria and Shaila! thomas
