The place is well located in a quiet neighborhood. It is also well connected by bus to different parts of DC. There is a huge park nearby which is great, there are also a couple of supermarkets within 10-15 min walk. Alex was really nice and very responsive and the communication was very smooth between us. However, there were a few downsides where I second Anna's review below. In particular, with respect to the noise level, you would need to tolerate some level of noise because you would hear conversations, TV, a toddler running around and dog barking. Alex was responsive to my requests, and did limit the noise level coming from upstairs, especially when the kid was at school, but if you are noise sensitive, that might still be a bummer, especially for long stays.
