We loved the convenient location of the apartment - near Columbia Heights metro station. If you haven't stayed in an English basement style DC unit they are somewhat dark, but we weren't there to hang out inside! The fresh flowers, fresh container of half and half in the fridge and the umbrellas (it rained hard one day!) were welcome touches. Also, if you're coming with a car Lisa can arrange a temporary parking permit so that you don't have to worry about being ticketed while street parked. Internet worked well also (not always the case in my experience) kitchen set up was good, shower has good water pressure. We'd stay again, and probably will as we have a relative in the area.
