Elizabeth's place is a top-class, spacious apartment nestled in the heart of tenleytown/chevy chase neighborhood of DC. You are less than a five minute walk to one of the best breakfast places in DC (Red Fox). And the neighborhood itself is full of gorgeous homes and quiet tree lined streets.
The apartment's standards are equal to a high end, luxury hotel. But you have plenty of privacy and way more space. And it is super clean. This is a true, full apartment that was significantly more spacious than the Brooklyn place I used to live in.
Elizabeth is also an excellent host. It is the little things that reveal how thoughtful she is to her guests: you have a washer and dryer in your space, the closet in the master bedroom has an extra umbrella, there are shopping bags if you want to go to the local Whole Foods or book store, there is a coffee maker, etc. The apartment overall is welcoming and comfortable.
My wife and I had to first attend a work event in Georgetown and then went out with friends in Foggy Bottom. I say this because while Elizabeth's place is not in the city center, we had no problem navigating the various transportation options to both events. The cab ride back to Elizabeth's place took about 15 minutes and was under 15 dollars. To keep it short: the location provides easy access to all of DC's important cultural sites but also offers you the chance to explore a local, family friendly community along the Red Line of the Metro.
