My wife and I had a great stay at Ami's place in DC. Here are a few observations:

THE HOST- Ami is very friendly, accessible, and full of information about the district and his neighborhood in particular. We visited on the phone prior to arrival and he forwarded a detailed document about his apartment and including some tips on how to arrive, get around, etc. Ami is helpful, but not overbearing or intrusive. His space becomes your space.

THE ROOM- First, let me address the review just previous to this one. It notes a bug problem. This gave me some concern, but on arrival I learned this is not a problem of bugs in the room, but of mosquitos congregating near the entrance of the apartment door. If you shut the door behind you, you'll not have any problems with them. And if you have a serious problem with mosquitos, you might reconsider staying in a city built on a swamp.

The apartment is more spacious than I expected. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfortable.

The wifi connection is capable, but not blazing (about 1.5-2mbps). Not a problem for me, but keep this in mind if you need more speed.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD- In the heart of Adams Morgan with great shops, bars, and good eats all within a stroll from the apartment. Plenty of mass transportation options nearby. It's kind of a hike to the Dupont metro line, but several bus stops, including the circulator bus, make it easy to get around the district. Take Ami's advice and pick up a smart card (available at CVS and other retailers). Even though I'm a seasoned metro rider, I've never been big on the bus system. Armed with my smart card and a new app on my iPhone, I navigated the buses with equal ease.

We won't hesitate to check Ami's availability the next time we're in DC.
