Jen is an awesome hostess. Picked us up at the Brookland Metro and helped us get oriented to our surroundings. Showed us where the closest bus stops were. She also was home when we left 4 days later and took us back to the Metro so we did not have to carry luggage to to the bus stop. The apartment was just as described and the seperate entrance was a nice feature. we were only there to sleep and shower. the apartment was really clean and well organized. I would definitely stay at Jen's place again when i come back to DC. The Brookland neighborhood is just outside of the hustle and bustle of tourism that gives you the flavor for the locals. Great eats and pubs in the Brookland district. Jen has pamphlets of the metro routes and book describing the Brookland eateries and other places of interest. she even had two metro cards available if we needed them.
