This was an exceptional property! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt completely relaxed each night as we returned home from long sightseeing days. The pictures that David lists are spot on -- what you see is what you get. The property is immaculate, light and bright. We loved the brick wall, the dark staircase, and the high ceilings in the master bedroom. David provides all the necessary amenities, from the bathrooms with hair dryers and shampoo, conditioner and body wash, to the fully stocked kitchen that allowed us to prepare a full Italian meal at home when we didn't feel like going out. The programmed lock on the front door allowed this family of 4 to come and go individually without having to share a key. It also afforded each member a great degree of privacy -- with each bedroom providing the same level of comfort with TVs, ceiling fans and unbelievably comfortable beds!

The property is about 4 blocks from Union Station, or a short 10 minute walk (be sure to exit Union Station through the parking garage to H street, as this will ensure the shortest route!). There is a free (as of June, 2016) streetcar that runs along H street to Union Station, with a stop around the corner from the property. This was very handy on the 90+ degree days or when heading to/from Union Station with luggage. We found that we used the metro rail/subway for the majority of our travel around the city, which was very convenient and affordable.

We would call the neighborhood "transitional" -- there are some gritty storefronts along H street, but also lots of construction projects in the works. You can tell that some of the residential properties are being rehabbed, and that this is a trendy area. As Midwestern suburbanites, we were aware of our surroundings but not uncomfortable, although we didn't come and go much at night.

Last but certainly not least, David was highly responsive to all of our questions and was extremely prompt in his replies. He was courteous to offer storage for our luggage both pre check-in and post check-out. He also was highly knowledgeable of the DC area, and was more than willing to offer suggestions for sights, restaurants and other activities based on our personal preferences. He really listened and helped us end up in a property that would provide us the most satisfaction during our family vacation. We would not hesitate to stay at one of David's properties again!
