Rich was a good host, even helped with the luggage, lol. We are on a month long vacation, and it can't be expensive at all our stays. This affordable option allowed us to immerse ourselves in the dc experience. We parked our car behind the apartment and rode the metro. We spent only $17 on transportation over 2 days. We visited the Smithsonian, free, rode the circulator bus to tour the national mall and took an eve bike tour. We walked to Safeway and spent little on eating out. The apartment is small, but big enough for us two. The neighbors were friendly, and the experience good. Recommend youtubes Triphacksdc if you are new to DC.
