Rafic’s place is great! It is close to the Metro, close to a grocery store, near many tourist and working locations, and is very clean, comfortable, and the staff in the building are very hospitable. It is a pretty spacious studio, and it is filled with art and inspirational quotes. It was nice that the kitchen was stocked with all the dishes and cooking utensils needed to prepare meals in the home.
While all of that was wonderful, what really made our stay great was Rafic himself. He was very responsive to questions, flexible and gracious with our extended stay, and very kind when communicating. There were many small touches that he included throughout our trip, but mostly it was just his general demeanor as a host that made us feel at home. I would definitely stay with Rafic again, and would encourage anyone going to the D.C. area to do the same.
