The apartment was clean and conveniently located a two blocks from the train station. Ben was very attentive and got back to us right away with any concerns we had. There are great bars and restaurants near by two of my favorites would be Brookland Pint and Busboys and Poets. It's also near the CAU campus so if your parents need a place to stay. There was a Farmers Market on Saturdays that along with food bring local artists. The area was safe and easily walkable. It's a family neighborhood so no raggers or any of that stuff. There was a very nice grey cat that greeted us our first night. He must live near by very friendly. The room was exactly as described and they had a timed light on the outside so the stairs and front entrance was always well lit when we would come home after seeing the sights. The train stop is only 3 stops away from Union station so you have the downtown at your fingertips without having to deal with lots of people. All in all a very nice place. We will come back and stay with Ben.
