We had a delightful stay at Vivian's place. It's conveniently located on a major bus line. Close to the zoo. The Columbia Heights Metro station is about a fifteen minute walk. Lots of shopping near the Metro station, including a Giant grocery store. A vibrant, diverse neighborhood. We did not need to do any cooking, but the kitchen appeared to be well-equipped. Vivian is very quick to respond to any communication. The apartment was clean and had everything one needs for a comfortable stay. We would definitely stay here again.
