Cathy and Bruce's place is as advertised and is a very good value given the location, which is excellent. Bruce explained everything about the apartment and was available for advice when needed, as he and Cathy live upstairs. The apartment has a separate entrance and is clean and well-stocked. The bed is very comfortable (memory foam of some sort), the kitchen large enough to cook in (which we did after buying ingredients at nearby interesting Eastern Market), and the living room equipped with a large smart TV. We had to cancel our first night on short notice and the refund process was seamless, without even raising the issue on our own. The location is very good, in the NE section of town near capitol hill and the Mall, a very short ride by bike. The capitol share bike system has a rack of bikes nearby which we made daily use of. No need for a car if you are staying local. Highly recommended and would stay here again.
