We had an excellent weekend at Alison's place. She was SUPER communicative and went out of her way to help us out with things like parking. The apartment itself was nicely decorated and comfortable. Alison thought of everything. Additionally, this is a great little neighborhood with easy access to restaurants and markets, as well as the beautiful and classic D.C. sights. It's just blocks from the Capitol, Library of Congress (don't miss it!) and the Supreme Court.
