I stayed in this lovely, private English basement apartment while attending a course at one of the Smithsonian museums. The home had everything I needed and more. Fresh flowers were a generous bonus. The walk to the metro was short and every neighbor I passed smiled and said hello. The Metro trip was just a few stops. At night it was nice to "come home" instead of a hotel. In summary: such a nice place, friendly neighborhood and so convenient by Metro -- all as advertised!
