Alex greeted our taxi and welcomed us to his apartment. He gave us a tour of his apartment and explained how everything worked. At first, we thought we might have a car; and Alex made arrangements for parking for us. The apartment was a 25-27 minute walk to downtown DC, so we did not rent a car. The description is totally accurate. The apartment is beautiful, tastefully decorated, and immaculate. The neighborhood is very safe, and we walked everywhere. Alex is a wonderful host; we could not have had a better experience . He is friendly, helpful, and energetic.
