I stayed at James and Nicole's place for about a month when I first moved to D.C. for a new job. I thoroughly enjoyed the place, as well as the hospitality of James and Nicole. I was so pleased that they welcomed my dog as well. There's a pad to park a car right next to the apartment, which was much appreciated. All the neighbors and people at the nearby park were very friendly. There was some noise from upstairs, but I didn't mind that because I like the sound of a happy family. Because I am older and not in great shape, the walk to the Metro was a little far for me, but it was so quick and easy to drive to work that worked out better anyway. James and Nicole could not have been better hosts - they are super friendly, responsive, and welcoming.
