When we checked in, both Vladi and Grace were there to welcome us. They showed us how to punch the code into the door locks and use the air conditioner remote control. The wireless password was already conveniently posted on the refrigerator door. What they didn't tell us was how elaborately well-stocked the flat is. The bedroom drawers are full of body care products. The freezer is full of food. All manner of cooking utensils and appliances are there for our use, although the only thing we used was the coffee pot and the end of someone else's coffee. Shelves of books offer lots to read. The location is 1 block from Columbia St, near the hot spot of 18th Ave, full of bars and restaurants. And it's just a few blocks from Rock Creek Park.
